title: Research on human cells reprogramming in Andalusia (Spain): Quo vadis Europe?
abstract: Andalusia has a special situation within Spain, among the group of countries that lead biomedical research on embryonic cell reprogramming at a global level, research which seems to have overcome the moral and ethical controversy surrounding other research techniques involving the creation-destruction of human embryos. Nevertheless, as there is no common European conception of human life, some ethical problems could emerge in the near future when it comes to patenting the results of these cell-reprogramming techniques at a European level.
