Overview of the new policies developed by players
Kantasolututkimusta tulee suorittaa ensisijaisesti aikuisen tai napanuoraveren kantasoluilla. Jos keinohedelmöityshoidoista ylijääneitä alkoita käytetään, tulee vanhemmilta kysyä kirjallinen suostumus, ja alkioiden käytöstä ja määrästä tulee pitää tarkkaa kirjaa. Kantasoluhoitoja tulee suunnata ja kehittää henkilöille, joiden lääkkeiden käyttöä ja muita hoitomuotoja voidaan merkittävästä vähentää kantasoluhoidoilla. Päättäjistössä tulee kiinnittää erityistä huomiota ja suunnata valvontaa kantasoluilla maailmalla käytävään kauppaan.

There is a need of EU legislation for the use of Stem cells in research. In addition, if there is not yet a Ethical committee to take care of research in this field, it would be important to have it. This ethical committee should be formed by an external committee, in the same way that certain research institutions ar evaluated (EMBL in Heidelberg is one example). Finally, these kind of studies will as well give place to Biobanks. From our point of view, Biobanks should also have legislation at the EU level, and should be centralised.
