Project summary
Professor Scott and Professor Wilkinson are producing a coherent, comprehensive, and philosophically defensible ethical framework on the subjects of reproductive materials. The framework will then be used to examine its implications for clinical practice, law, public policy and regulation, bringing together biomedical sciences and medical law. It will be capable of providing clinicians, policy makers, health professionals and scientists with greater clarity, and with a more precise set of arguments, concepts and terms. It will also increase public confidence in, and understanding of, these areas of research and practice.
