Embryo Scientists Will Have to Give Cell Lines to Britain’s Stem Cell Bank

Britain is to force scientists working on embryonic stem cells to donate their cell lines to the national stem cell bank, the head of the body that regulates embryo research said on Wednesday.

Suzi Leather, chair of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority, said the authority would only license such research on condition that a sample of any cell lines created is placed in the bank. “It is not lawful in this country for embryonic stem cells to be generated without a licence from the authority,” she told a stem cell conference in London which was picketted by a small group of “pro-life” students who said destroying embryos for research purposes was unacceptable.
