Research using human embryos and embryoids has expanded in recent years due to
technological advances. Surveying laws and guidelines among the top research and …

Recent advances in methods to culture pluripotent stem cells to model human development
have resulted in entities that increasingly have recapitulated advanced stages of early …

Human cerebral organoids (HCOs) are an in vitro model of early neural development, aimed
at modelling and understanding brain development and neurological disorders. In just a few …

In this article, we discuss the ethics of human embryoids, ie, embryo-like structures made
from pluripotent stem cells for modeling natural embryos. We argue that defining our social …

Following the birth in 2018 of two babies from embryos altered using CRISPR-Cas9, human
germline gene editing (GGE) moved from abstract concern to reality. He Jiankui, the scientist …

Human cerebral organoids (HCOs) are three-dimensional in vitro cell cultures that mimic the
developmental process and organization of the developing human brain. In just a few years …

We consider the scientific evidence that research on in-vitro development of embryos
beyond 14 days is necessary. We then examine potential new developments in the use of …

Ethical considerations are central to all medicine though, likely, nowhere more essential
than in the practice of reproductive endocrinology and infertility. Through in vitro fertilization …

The ISSCR recently released new guidelines that relaxed the 14-day rule taking away the
tough barrier, and this has rekindled relevant ethical controversies and posed a fresh set of …
