Using donated human embryos for scientific research raises ethical questions about the donation process. We describe a two-stage consent process designed to help couples make informed decisions about embryo disposition. This consent methodology minimizes conflict of interest, respects patient choice, and provides a much-needed resource to patients and the research community.
利用捐赠的人类胚胎进行科学研究引发了关于捐赠过程的伦理问题。我们描述了一种两阶段同意程序,旨在帮助夫妇就胚胎处置做出明智的决定。这种同意方法最大限度地减少了利益冲突,尊重了患者的选择,并为患者和研究界提供了急需的资源。
