Regenerative medicine: Embryos in the skin | Opinion

The scientists at Logrado created some very similar to a human embryo of a week from simple cells of the skin of a donor, in a good example of the things that are escaping the focus of public attention on the fault of the pandemic. The advance is imperfect, as reconnaissance of its own propositions — the embryos are certainly invaluable for producing an embarrassment, we have no way of generating a baby — but the creation of a perfect human embryo in a more technical questionnaire. Bioethics must be high.

Lawyers and legislators are enlisted here, and more generally in the context of regenerative medicine, a test of speed at which the moment has dominated the rhythm of scientific advancement. The regulation does not only respond late to the discoveries, but also maliciously, because its useless and guaranteed users produce a set of norms and conditions that will soon be revealing insecurities, including as a result. It is just that there is now with a frontline sagra that impedes in the middle world investigator with embryos of more than 14 days. It is like admitting that an embryo has a long life that has the status and protection of the individual, which has no empirical support. The investigators of the sector and some lawyers believe that this frontier arbitration should be eliminated, because the advance of the knowledge is changing as soon as possible. Society must be involved in the debate.

The objective in place of these investigations is to access the inconsistencies that plant the formation of a human embryo, to explore the causes of infertility and the mechanisms of congenital diseases. Nadie pretends to clone to Fu-Manchú by demonstrating the non-existence of Dios — two financially sound projects — to improve medicine and destroy human supremacy. Legislative activity must respond with speed, belt and standards that are quite adaptable to last a few years.
