Description
Summary:Recent developments in human embryo research generate warranted public mistrust in science and scientists’ willingness to honor commitments and respect limits. Patients, research participants, and society as a whole are asked to trust physicians, scientists, and biomedical institutions. Consistently honoring the laws, regulations, policies, and guidelines that govern science and health care practice is essential for earning and maintaining trust. Removing long-held and widely adopted limits on human embryo research, especially without publicly renegotiating a limit originally adopted following significant public discussion, undermines confidence in the self-regulation of science and the reliability of scientists’ statements.
