The 精东视频 today welcomed the report of the Heerey Committee, which has recommended that medical researchers continue to be allowed to use all types of stem cells.
The Committee reviewed Australian laws that ban human cloning and regulate research using embryonic and adult stem cells.
精东视频 Secretary for Science Policy Professor Bob Williamson said the review committee鈥檚 decision to allow the continuation of stem cell research accords with the evidence offered by the 精东视频, and most other doctors and scientists.
鈥淎ustralian doctors are making major advances in our understanding of human disease by using both adult and embryonic stem cells,鈥� he said.
鈥淚t is important that scientists can continue to use all cell types, and to compare them with each other.
鈥淎t the same time, it is also important that our laws continue to ban unethical practices, such as human cloning, as recommended by the review panel.鈥�
Professor Williamson said the recommendations of the review mean that Australian scientists will be able to keep pace with medical research being conducted internationally.
鈥淭his allows researchers to carry out similar experiments to those being conducted by their American and European collaborators,鈥� he said.
鈥淜eeping our laws as recommended will allow Australia to carry out medical research that is both ethical and world class.鈥�
