This is for a paper. I feel that the government should have a code of ethics in place when researchers are obtaining embryos for stem cell research.

There already is a code in place, existent cell lines only.

However when that is overturned the standard is generally when you have IVF treatment you fill out a waiver and you can opt to donate any "left over" embryo’s to research.

The code should be informed consent on the part of the doners

    They shouldn’t use embryos older than five years old.
