NEW YORK, Nov. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Attorney Dr. Joshua Weiser has written a book that examines the future of embryonic stem cell research in the United States. His work aims to impact federal laws, address the ongoing debate over federal funding, advance research, and support medical progress.
Proposing a Path for Federal Funding in Medical Innovation
"We're working to create guidelines that balance the ethical issues with the potential of embryonic stem cell research," Joshua Weiser says. "The goal is to make federal funding possible while keeping research practices responsible and humane." In his book, “Embryonic Stem Cells and the Law: Crafting A Humane System of Regulation,” Dr. Weiser outlines a detailed outlook on regulating research on stem cells.
Key recommendations include forming a national oversight committee, setting clear guidelines for informed consent from embryo donors, establishing strict protocols for using embryonic stem cell lines, and establishing ongoing ethical reviews and transparency in research practices.
The goal is to move research forward responsibly while addressing the ethical concerns surrounding this research.
