Human Embryos for Research

Toi Te Taiao: The Bioethics Council has completed its Human Embryos for Research project. The project aimed to encourage discussion about the use of human embryos for research. 

This is important because the Advisory Committee on Assisted Reproductive Technology (ACART) will be advising the Minister of Health about embryo research.
