Abstract
The chapter aims to propose a framework for the practical task of ethical review of human embryonic stem cell (hESC) research. As proposed by the National Academy of Sciences, this responsibility should be assigned to Embryonic Stem Cell Research Oversight (ESCRO) Committees (Committee on Guidelines for Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research, 2005). In California, it has been proposed that this responsibility should instead be given to Stem Cell Research Oversight (SCRO) Committees, so as to explicitly cover both embryonic and non-embryonic sources of stem cells (California Institute for Regenerative Medicine, 2006). The full scope of responsibility for ESCRO or SCRO Committees is still in flux.
