Protecting the unborn, part two
Further to our earlier CHN about the review of current Australian laws relating to human cloning and research involving human embryos, we were informed last week on Friday (9th September) that, due to the level of community interest in this matter, the committee may still consider submissions sent in this week.
The committee has been consulting over the last few days with various representatives of special-interest groups. You can view the consultation program on the committee's website (www.lockhartreview.com.au). It is worth noting that of the people the committee is consulting with, many are likely to be arguing for the current legislation to be relaxed in order to enable embryonic stem cell research.
So if you haven't yet had time to send something in, it's still worth doing.
And if you've experienced problems when attempting to submit through the review committee's website, try sending your submission to: lockhartreview AT secretariat DOT com DOT au
