Where this comes from

Abstract

The Dutch Health Council has advised to extend the 14-day rule to 28 days and to subsume integrated stem cell-based embryo models under the same legislative regime as natural embryos. Public discussion is necessary due to the ethical issues that may emerge from studying integrated and non-integrated embryo models.
