Human embryonic stem cells: Proposals have to address: That the research work aims to advance scientific knowledge in basic research or to increase medical knowledge for development of diagnostic, preventive or therapeutic methods to be applied to humans Necessity to use hESC in order to achieve scientific objectives set forth in the proposal

Example: Document that appropriate validated alternatives (stem cells from other sources or origins) are not suitable and/or available to achieve expected goals of the proposal.

33

Proposal for Stage 2 Ethics Issues

Human embryonic stem cells: Take into account legislation, regulations, ethics rules and/or codes of conduct in country where the research using hESC is to take place Including procedures for obtaining informed consent. Ensure that for all hESC lines to be used in the project were derived from embryo's of specific character
