Kamieninių ląstelių reglamentavimo lyginamoji analizė teisiniu aspektu / Stem cell regulation comparative analysis of legal aspects

Stem cell research is one of the promising areas of biotechnology, which offers the prospect of developing new methods to repair or replace tissues or cells damaged by injuries or diseases and to treat serious chronic diseases, such as diabetes, Parkinson’s, chronic heart failure as well as stroke and spinal cord injuries. Stem cell research is expected to be equally important for basic science to understand cell differentiation and growth as well as for other specific medical applications such as for the understanding of disease development and for the development of safer and more effective drugs. Scientists are intensively studying the fundamental properties of stem cells.
One of the possible sources for stem cells is human embryos. However, when this research involves the use of human embryos it raises the question of ethical values at stake and of the limits and conditions for such research.
The title of this work is ,,Stem cell regulation comparative analysis of legal aspects”. This work explores legal aspects concerning production of stem cell from embryos. The main comparative aspects investigated in this graduation paper work:
1. historical stem cell research beginning aspects;
2. medical stem cell characteristics;
3. ethical embryo stem cell research aspects;
4. EU member states that allowing creation of human embryos for procurement of human embryonic stem cells by law;
5. EU member states that prohibiting procurement of human embryonic stem cells by law;
6. EU... [to full text]
