Archived Public Consultation
Submissions invited—revised Ethical Guidelines on Use of ART; and draft Objective Criteria for Determining (for research purposes) When a Human Embryo is Unsuitable for Implantation
The NHMRC is conducting public consultation on updated Guidelines on the Use of Assisted Reproductive Technology in Clinical Practice and Research 2004 (as revised in 2007).
The document has been revised to take account of the new activities that are licensable under the Prohibition of Human Cloning for Reproduction and the Regulation of Human Embryo Research Amendment Act 2006.
The Act also specifies that the NHMRC develops Objective Criteria for Determining (for research purposes*) When a Human Embryo is Unsuitable for Implantation.
Submissions closed on Friday 11 May 2007.
* Note: These criteria are for determining which embryos may be used for licensed research. They are not intended to be used in relation to clinical treatment of patients undergoing IVF
