title: Embryo research: the significance of the new law.
abstract: Embryo research is lawful in the United Kingdom: Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990. Subject to licence and regulation. Embryo research raises medical, scientific, legal, social, philosophical, and ultimately conscience, moral and ethical issues. In the end each individual has to make his own value judgment, to be respected by all the rest of us.
