Memorandum 32
Submission from the Association of Clinical
Embryologists
INTRODUCTION
The Association of Clinical Embryologists (ACE)
was formed in 1993 to promote high standards of practice in clinical
embryology and to support the professional interests of clinical
embryologists working in the UK. It is a professional body for
clinical embryologists.
OPINION
ACE is presently consulting its membership for
an overall viewpoint. However, many members of ACE support the
creation of in vitro chimera embryos and therapeutic cloning
since there are many potential benefits for the fields of infertility
and medicine, including a greater understanding of the fertilisation
process. The limited number of human eggs available for research
presently limits research.
ACE is happy to provide any further written
or oral evidence as required.
