In July, researchers in the United Kingdom published a code of practice on how human stem cells should be used to mimic embryo development in the laboratory. This code was produced by a working committee of 13 developmental biologists, stem-cell scientists, legal scholars, regulatory specialists and bioethicists, of which I was chair. It is the first of its kind in the world. Such guidelines are sorely needed, because of the similarities between human embryo models and natural embryos.

PET and Cambridge Reproduction have jointly published a new Code of Practice for the Generation and Use of Human Stem Cell-Based Embryo Models (the SCBEM Code of Practice), in order to support the development of best practice in research involving stem-cell-based embryo models (SCBEMs). The Working Group that has drafted the SCBEM Code of Practice is composed of researchers and practitioners at institutions across the UK, including experts in science, law, ethics and regulation.

Scientists recently announced that they have developed embryo models using just stem cells. No sperm or egg cells (oocytes) were involved. These new research findings were presented by Professor Magdalena Żernicka-Goetz of the University of Cambridge and the California Institute of Technology at the annual meeting of the International Society for Stem Cell Research in Boston.
