Despite the many demonstrated medical benefits of such research and the issuance of guidelines by various governmental and private ethics advisory bodies, federal support of this research has been severely curtailed. In 1993 the Institute of Medicine (IOM) sponsored a conference on fetal research and applications. This book examines the current state of fetal research and fetal tissue research. It contains an overview of research in the field and a short history on the regulatory and legislative actions governing the field. The bulk of the volume centers on ethical and legal issues of fetal research, preembryo research, fetal research, and fetal tissue transplantation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe volume also contains a full reprinting of the summary from the 1989 IOM book \u003ci\u003eMedically Assisted Conception: An Agenda for Research\u003c\/i\u003e, including the recommendations and research agenda suggested in that volume. Readers can therefore view that information in context with the suggestions and topics discussed at the conference. The background and research summarized in \u003ci\u003eFetal Research and Applications\u003c\/i\u003e should provide insights for future progress and contribute to a fuller understanding of the social and ethical issues involved in this field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Institute of Medicine,Conference Committee on Fetal Research a\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0309051762\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780309051767\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Academies Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 116\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.01h x 6.04w x 0.33d","brand":"Institute of Medicine","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447617106175,"sku":"9780309051767","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_21f329e8-b65d-4d33-816a-0944be36f42e.jpg?v=1777233889","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fetal-research-and-applications-institute-of-medicine-9780309051767","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
