Consultation on Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act.
Following the review of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act by the House of Commons select committee on science and technology (see Bulletin 208), the Department of Health issued a consultation paper on its proposals to change the law. Although the consultation period will be over before this issue is published, it seems worth reprinting the summary of the paper to record the department's thinking on a variety of issues.
