영문 초록

NT-hESC research has been receiving much attention, because it holds an immense potential to cure incurable diseases. However, many ethical debates are waged concerning NT-hESC. The debates center around the issue of destroying embryos and acquiring egg donations, because in order to get stem cell lines, the artificial making and destroying of embryos are necessary. Many stem cell scientists around the world continue NT-hESC research within the boundaries of their country’s laws, policies and ethical guidelines. In this article, I first examine the recent NT-hESC research and the naturally accompanying ethical debates regarding the moral status of embryos. Differences in the interpretation and understanding of the moral status of embryos stemming from various cultures, religions and social structures enhance the debate as current scientific technology requires the artificial creation and destruction of embryos in order to get stem cell lines. Second, I examine the ethical issues related to the acquisition of research materials such as egg donation. I explore the National Academy of Science’s “Guidelines for Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research” which contains detailed articles related to policy and ethical considerations. Based on this, I propose that Korea extend the basic ethical and practical regulations in determining ethical and policy guidelines for NT-hESC research.
