Principles of Medical Ethics
Autonomy– Informed consent of gamete donors, parents
around fate of embryos Beneficence
– Potential therapeutic uses of hESC cell research Non-maleficence
– Harm to embryos Social justice
– Who will benefit? Will all have access to uses?

Sources of Stem Cells
Existing stem cell lines– Pre-2009 18 hESC lines approved for study using federal
funding Unused embryos from IVF
– 2010 43 approved hESC lines, 115 submitted for review. But only one line from pre-2009 lines approved thus far

Autonomy, NIH, Informed Consent, and hESCs
hESC derived from IVF for reproductive purposes
Available alternative uses explained No payments for embryos Care provided independent of decision Should avoid clinician/researcher same Donors gave voluntary written consent to use
embryos for research
![Page 15: To Download - Stem Cells, Building Blocks for Tissue Engineering](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b7ee244a79594f3b8b474f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
NIH, Informed Consent, and hESCs
Must provide information on:– Fate of embryos– Embryos may be kept for years– Research not intended as treatment for donor– What personal, potentially identifying information
would be available to researchers– That research might result in financial gain for
researchers, not donors

Non-maleficence and The Moral Status of the Embryo

When Does Life Begin?:Biological Landmarks
Day 1 Fertilization Day 4-5 Cells used for
hESC Day 7-10 Implantation Day 14 Primitive streak Weeks 18-20 Quickening Month 9 Delivery

The Moral Status of the Embryo:When is the early embryo fully human?
Aristotle and Aquinas: ensoulment with quickening
Catholic Church through 1591 – abortion before quickening not punishable
1869 - Pius IX - Excommunication for abortion at any stage of pregnancy
Multiple ethics panels concluded the embryo is a developing human deserving respect but not full rights and protections

Faith and Embryonic Stem Cell Research
Harris Poll 2005– 70% Americans favor, 19% oppose– 70% Catholics, 38% born-again Evangelicals favor
57% who oppose abortion favor embryonic stem cell research – “not in womb, not abortion”
O. Hatch – opposes abortion, favors hESC research Islam - no prohibition Judaism – no prohibition Hindus – unclear MUSM research – IVF acceptable across faiths

Embryos and the Law
Georgia Criminal Law: “unborn child” means a member of the species homo sapiens at any stage of development who is carried in the womb.
Roe v. Wade: "We need not resolve the difficult question of when life begins. When those trained in the respective disciplines of medicine, philosophy, and theology are unable to arrive at any consensus, the judiciary, at this point in the development of man's knowledge, is not in a position to speculate as to the answer.“ May abort up to time of fetal “viability”

Ethics, IVF, and Stem Cells
Does use of hESCs from IVF for procreation restrict research on cells from the poor?
Is it morally acceptable to use existing stem cell lines created from embryos?
Should gamete donors and potential parents have equal rights?– Who should determine fate?
Should Federal funds be used to derive new hESC lines for research?

What to do with leftover embryos?
Over 500,000 embryos in storage
$100-150/year What if donors don’t pay
for storage?

More Complete Timeline
1974 Congress bans all federally funded fetal tissue research Ethics Advisory Board established to set guidelines for
research on fetal tissue research on tissue derived from abortions. EAB recommends federally funded research into IVF
1981 EAB disbanded, effectively ends federal funding into research on embryonic stem cells
DHHS continues moratorium on federal funding despite 18-3 recommendation for federal funding by b Human Fetal Tissue Transplantation Research Panel
