This article is a consensus statement by an international interdisciplinary group of academic experts and Canadian policy-makers on emerging ethical, legal and social issues in human embryonic stem cells (hESC) research in Canada. The process of researching consensus included consultations with key stakeholders in hESC research (regulations, stem cell researchers, and research ethics experts), preparation and distribution of background papers, and an international workshop held in Montreal in February 2007 to discuss the papers and debate recommendations. The recommendations provided in the consensus statement focus on issues of immediate relevance to Canadian policy-makers, including informed consent to hESC research, the use of fresh embryos in research, management of conflicts of interest, and the relevance of public opinion research to policy-making.
本文是一个由国际跨学科的学术专家和加拿大政策制定者组成的团体，就加拿大人类胚胎干细胞（hESC）研究中出现的伦理、法律和社会问题所达成的共识声明。达成共识的研究过程包括与hESC研究的关键利益相关者（监管机构、干细胞研究人员和研究伦理专家）进行磋商、编写和分发背景文件，以及2007年2月在蒙特利尔举行的一次国际研讨会，以讨论这些文件并辩论相关建议。共识声明中提出的建议聚焦于与加拿大政策制定者直接相关的问题，包括hESC研究的知情同意、研究中新鲜胚胎的使用、利益冲突的管理以及民意调查研究与政策制定的相关性。
