Book Description
The House of Commons Science and Technology Committee published a report on 'Genetics and Insurance' in April which reviewed the use of genetic test results by insurers, their relevance and reliability and their wider consequences for research and patient care. Although the Government understands fears that testing could lead to new forms of discrimination, it also recognises the concerns of insurance companies that individuals might take out larger than usual insurance in the expectation of an early claim. Discussions have already taken place between the Government and the Association of British Insurers (ABI) which have resulted in a stronger moratorium. The Government recognises that the moratorium is unlikely to provide a permanent solution, but it will give time to consider implications of advance in genetic science and develop a policy that can work in the long term.

Book Description
This document sets out the Government's reply to the Committee's report (HCP 272-I, session 2006-07; ISBN 9780215033512) on the Government's policy proposals for changes to the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990 in order to update the law and regulation relating to human reproductive technologies (Cm. 6989, ISBN 9780101698924). The Committee's report argued that the creation of human-animal chimera or hybrid embryos, and specifically cytoplasmic hybrid embryos, are necessary for research purposes, under licence, and criticised the Government for not clearly setting out the areas of research practice intended to fall under the proposed legislation. The Government's response deals with all 34 of the Committee's conclusions and recommendations and finds that the Committee's report has very helpfully moved the debate on this issue forward.
