Session Objectives
Provide background context to legal
discussion
Understand major legal issues in
stem cell research, with focus on
human embryonic stem cell
research (hESCR)
Recognize how law influences and is
influenced by science, ethics, policy
(politics)

Law + Science, Ethics, Policy
SCIENCE
What technically can we do?
ETHICS
What should we do?
LAW
What can (should?) we do?
POLICY
What will we do in light of competing
values, political climate?

Trajectory of Legal Issues
Permissibility: Is it ok or not ok?
(hESCR / ―derivation‖ or ―use‖)
If ok, how Fund
If ok, how Regulate
Concern shifts to ownership rights and
(limits on) transfer of ownership
◦ Personal ―property‖ (commodification)
◦ Intellectual property (commercialization)
◦ Physical property (commercialization)

Recurring Themes in
Discussion of Legal Issues
Revisit circles of influence
State – Federal – International
patchwork of regulations
―Bio-federalism‖ of US

Initial Legal Focus:
Permissibility / Funding
Federal
◦ Dickey-Wicker Amendment (1996-)
◦ Fmr. Pres. Bush’s Executive Order (Aug 2001)
◦ Pres. Obama’s Executive Order (March 2009)
State
International

Traditional Legal Response:
Regulation
Federal
◦ NIH/OHRP (NIH draft guidelines, 4/09)
◦ FDA
◦ NAS
◦ Legislature
States
International
◦ ISSCR

Emerging Legal Focus: The 3 Cs
Commodification
◦ Personal property of gametes, embryos
Commercialization
◦ Intellectual property – patents
◦ Physical property – materials (licensing)
Collaboration
◦ Dealing with the patchwork of regulations

EMERGING LEGAL DEVELOPMENTS: THE 3 C’S

First C: Commodifcation
Donation Issues
Informed consent
Compensation
*Close connection to ethics

Second C: Commercialization
The Commercialization Chain:
Derivation of SC line – Use of SCs –
Preclinical trial – Clinical use
Uncertainty of regulation: barrier to
scientific development
Conflicting ethical views: barrier to
investment
Level of Regulation
◦ Less regulation ~ more progress
◦ Clear regulation ~ more progress

Commercialization cont’d
Intellectual Property (Patents)
and Physical Property (Licenses)
Can (Should) we Patent?
Regulating Commercialization
◦ Limits on Patent Scope
◦ Dealing with Existing Patents and Licensing
Schemes
*Close connection to economics/business;
some to ethics

Third C: Collaboration
The Patchwork and Thicket Issue
Commodification:
◦ Collaboration with other state, nation
researchers who differ in view on ―requisite‖
(who, what, when) consent and ―appropriate‖
compensation
Commercialization:
◦ Collaboration with other state, nation
researchers who differ in view of
permissibility, patent scope, licensing regimes

WHAT NEXT?
hESCR & the Law

“The Law” needs to …
Analyze scope/substance of:
◦ Obama E.O.
◦ NIH regulations
◦ Federal legislative action
◦ State activity
◦ Int’l activity
Chart out/clarify boundaries and areas of
overlap/conflict among above

“The Law” needs to …
Develop public repository for:
◦ Regulations, ethical guidance, consent
forms, info for donors, etc.
Develop model guidance, law, etc.
Develop commercialization chain
clearinghouse
◦ To Inform, Guide, Monitor◦ See O’Connor SM, The use of MTAs to control commercialization of stem cell diagnostics

“The Law” needs to …
Promote collaboration via open,
multi-level discussion
◦ Funding, Guidelines/Regulation (re:
consent, compensation, IP and P law)
Reflect/be in iterative discourse with
science and ethics
