Download or read book Current Practice of Prenatal Diagnosis in Canada written by Canada. Royal Commission on New Reproductive Technologies and published by Canadian Government Publishing. This book was released on 1993 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume documents in some detail current practices in prenatal diagnosis and testing in Canada today and, in the process, provides answers to many questions raised in the Commission's public consultations. This is done through an analysis of the activities of all Canadian genetics centres providing PND, as well as an analysis of the process by which women are referred to these centres. Other studies in the volume focus not on prenatal diagnostic procedures but on prenatal screening programs. These programs involve a wider range of physicians, often including general practitioners, and the studies examine how such programs have been introduced in Canada and the extent to which, in this wider arena, they conform to the standards established for the introduction of prenatal diagnostic techniques.

Download or read book Guidelines for Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2005-09-15 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1998, the volume of research being conducted using human embryonic stem (hES) cells has expanded primarily using private funds because of restrictions on the use of federal funds for such research. Given limited federal involvement, privately funded hES cell research has thus far been carried out under a patchwork of existing regulations, many of which were not designed with this research specifically in mind. In addition, hES cell research touches on many ethical, legal, scientific, and policy issues that are of concern to the public. This report provides guidelines for the conduct of hES cell research to address both ethical and scientific concerns. The guidelines are intended to enhance the integrity of privately funded hES cell research by encouraging responsible practices in the conduct of that research.
