SUMMARY:Research on Human Embryos
DESCRIPTION:While in-vitro research on early human embryos is prohibited in
  Germany, British legislation permits a large number of such research appro
 aches. But why is research on early human embryos so important? And how can
  we regulate it responsibly and avoid potential misuse?\n\nScientists from 
 Great Britain will present the aims and results of research on human embryo
 s. They will also clarify on what basis the British legislator has decided 
 to permit such research and to what extent the public has been consulted. I
 n a subsequent discussion with German ethicists and the audience, differenc
 es and similarities of the British and German approaches will be expounded.
 \n\nThe aim of the event is to enrich the German debate on early human embr
 yos and to discuss the British perspective of responsible handling of embry
 os without completely prohibiting research.\n\n6:00 p.m. | WelcomeBettina S
