Guidelines for the Conduct of Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research

Abstract

The ISSCR calls for due consideration and appropriate oversight of human stem cell research to ensure transparent, ethical, and responsible performance of scientific experiments. These Guidelines, prepared by the ISSCR Task Force comprised of international representatives, are meant to emphasize the responsibility of scientists to ensure that human stem cell research is carried out according to rigorous standards of research ethics, and to encourage uniform research practices that should be followed by all human stem cell scientists globally.
