Recent advances in the field of reproduction have made it possible to obtain preembryos and to use them in many research applications. These include research into improving methods of IVF treatment, contraceptive research, preimplantation diagnosis, gene therapy, the study of malignant disease, and others. The benefits, academic and scientific, are enormous. Apart from these benefits are many moral, legal, religious and ethical problems and reservations. Potential sources from which the preembryos may originate may also lead to controversy. Pressure groups in various societies seek to hasten governments into legislation or other means of control. We conducted a Medline search of all pertinent literature since 1980, and the findings are reviewed following. Regulated use of preembryo research is ethically acceptable by most groups in society. Suggestions for regulation are provided.
生殖领域的最新进展使得获取胚胎前体并将其用于许多研究应用成为可能。这些应用包括改进体外受精治疗方法的研究、避孕研究、植入前诊断、基因治疗、恶性疾病研究等等。其学术和科学益处是巨大的。除了这些益处之外，还存在许多道德、法律、宗教和伦理问题及保留意见。胚胎前体可能的来源也可能引发争议。各个社会中的压力团体试图促使政府进行立法或采取其他控制手段。我们对1980年以来的所有相关文献进行了医学文献数据库检索，以下是检索结果综述。社会上大多数团体认为对胚胎前体研究进行规范使用在伦理上是可以接受的。文中还提供了规范建议。
