experiments

The use of animals requires permits and/or authorizations from

national competent authorities

33

Human embryonic stem cells:

Proposals have to address:

That the research work aims to advance scientific knowledge

in basic research or to increase medical knowledge for

development of diagnostic, preventive or therapeutic

methods to be applied to humans

Necessity to use hESC in order to achieve scientific objectives

set forth in the proposal

Example: Document that appropriate validated alternatives (stem cells

from other sources or origins) are not suitable and/or available to achieve

expected goals of the proposal.


35/36


34

Human embryonic stem cells:

Take into account legislation, regulations, ethics rules and/orcodes of conduct in country where the research using

hESC is to take place

Including procedures for obtaining informed consent.

Ensure that for all hESC lines to be used in the project were

derived from embryo's of specific character

Dedicated website that aims to provide clear, helpful information onethics issues is available at: http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/ethics_en.html
