Human Fetal Tissue Transplantation

Tissue from human fetal cadavers has long been used for medical research, experimental therapies, and various other purposes. Research within the last two decades has led to substantial progress in many of these areas, particularly in the application of fetal tissue transplantation to the treatment of human disease. As a result, clinical trials have now been initiated at centers around the world to evaluate the use of human fetal tissue transplantation for the therapy of Parkinson's disease, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, and a number of blood, immunological and, metabolic disorders. Laboratory studies suggest a much wider range of disorders may in the future be treatable by transplantation of various types of human fetal tissue. A combination of characteristics renders fetal tissue uniquely valuable for such transplantation, as well as for basic research, the development of vaccines, and a range of other applications. Although substitutes for human fetal tissue are being actively sought, for many of these applications there are at present no satisfactory alternatives. Important issues remain unresolved concerning the procurement, distribution, and use of human fetal cadaver tissue as well as the effects of such use on abortion procedures and incidence. These issues can be addressed by the introduction of appropriate guidelines or legislation, and need not be an impediment to legitimate research and therapeutic use of fetal tissue.
