[Guideline for the human stem cell clinical research].
The regenerative researches using human stem cells will be able to solve problems such as incurable diseases and the supply of human organs for transplantation which run short. These researches are also expected to produce business. On the other hand, there are various levels of human stem cells researches from already established to primitive in both safty and ethics. In this situation, a guideline for the human stem cell clinical research will be expected to perform appropriate clinical researches. Then, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare composed a special committee about clinical research using human stem cells in the health, labour and welfare science council, technology section, and will decide upon a guideline on January 29, 2002.
