Welcome to the 'Stem Cell Research Online Debate' on behalf of the House of Lords. On 7 March 2001 The House of Lords appointed a Select Committee on Stem Cell Research to consider and report on issues connected with human cloning and stem cell research arising from the Human Fertilisation and Embryology (Research Purposes) Regulations 2001. In conjunction with traditional forms of evidence-gathering, the Committee has appointed the Hansard Society (an independent organisation) to undertake this innovative online consultation, to encourage wider public debate of the issues. The debate will run for 4 weeks from Monday 24 September until Friday 19 October. Taking part in this consultation will help ensure that the Committee has a wide, varied set of views to inform its recommendations on this controversial and important issue. If you need any help or further information regarding this web-site please contact Beccy at edemocracy@lse.ac.uk or call 0207 9557486.
