The Human Embryo In Vitro

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In the UK, the intellectual basis of legal framework governing the creation, use and storage of in vitro embryos for reproduction and research has not been revisited for over thirty years. This book explores the reasons behind this 'legal stasis', and considers ways in which we can move beyond it.
