Lund, Sweden: 2-3 October 2008

The main focus of this workshop will be on ethical aspects of interspecies embryo research. Scientific, ethical and regulatory
aspects will be discussed. Why do scientists want to carry out such research? Are there important distinctions between different types of inter-species embryos? What ethical concerns does such research raise? How should these concerns be addressed and dealt with?

Venue
Grand Hotel, Lund, Sweden.

Participants
As with the first ESTOOLS ethics workshop, held jointly with EuroStemCell in Berlin in April 2007, participants likely to attend this workshop will be from the spectrum of communities interested in or concerned by the ethical, societal and regulatory issues raised by embryonic stem celli research e.g. scientists working in the area of stem cell research, lawyers, ethicists, philosophers, as well as representatives of the European Commission.
