The ART of making babies: How human embryo research and assisted reproduction are regulated in Australia and New Zealand

过去25年的科学突破使人们有可能获得帮助来怀孕，否则他们将保持无子女状态。在澳大利亚各州和领地，获得辅助生殖技术受到不同监管框架的管理。我们将阐明临床实践、服务提供和医学研究如何受到不同监管框架的影响。这项研究将对政策制定者和立法者以及不孕症服务的潜在受益者具有国家意义，并将帮助社区了解如何以及为什么对这些人类关切的重要领域进行监管。

Scientific breakthroughs in the past 25 years have made it possible for people to receive assistance to conceive when they would otherwise remain childless. Access to assisted reproductive technologies is governed by different regulatory frameworks in the states and territories of Australia. We will clarify how clinical practice, service delivery and medical research are influenced by the differing regulatory frameworks. The research will be of national significance to policy makers and legislators and to potential beneficiaries of infertility services and will assist communities to understand how and why these important areas of human concern are regulated.
