這是一本國(guó)際期刊，以網(wǎng)絡(luò)和紙質(zhì)文字制作，致力于圍繞人類受孕和人類胚胎福利的生物醫(yī)學(xué)研究和倫理問(wèn)題。涵蓋人類胚胎生長(zhǎng)的時(shí)期是胎兒中的原始生殖細(xì)胞的形成，直到懷孕中期。如果有助于澄清人類情況，則包括對(duì)低等動(dòng)物的高質(zhì)量研究。如果它們與懷孕早期階段的事件有直接關(guān)系，那么研究將逐步發(fā)表。相關(guān)主題包括生育和不孕、避孕、試管受精和輔助生殖、植入前遺傳疾病診斷、克隆、胚胎干細(xì)胞、植入和器官發(fā)生、流產(chǎn)、困擾胚胎的遺傳疾病及其緩解、胎兒手術(shù)和治療以及胚胎的生長(zhǎng)影響。用這些過(guò)程來(lái)形容。在各種臨床條件的治療和護(hù)理過(guò)程中產(chǎn)生的倫理和政治議題被提出。咨詢、廣泛來(lái)源的新聞、對(duì)主要科學(xué)家和臨床醫(yī)生的采訪、對(duì)患者提問(wèn)的答復(fù)、制造商的立場(chǎng)、工作機(jī)會(huì)以及與雜志研究領(lǐng)域相關(guān)的其他事項(xiàng)都將在網(wǎng)絡(luò)、論文或兩者上呈現(xiàn)。病人不會(huì)被告知他們的病情。

An international journal, produced on web and in paper copy, devoted to biomedical research and ethical issues surrounding human conception and the welfare of the human embryo. The period of human embryonic growth covered is between the formation of the primordial germ cells in the fetus until mid-pregnancy. High quality research on lower animals is included if it helps to clarify the human situation. Studies progressing to birth and later are published if they have a direct bearing on events in the earlier stages of pregnancy. Relevant topics include fertility and infertility, contraception, IVF and assisted reproduction, the preimplantation diagnosis of genetic disease, cloning, embryo stem cells, implantation and organogenesis, miscarriage, genetic disorders afflicting the embryo, and their alleviation, fetal operations and treatments, and the growth of embryos affected by these processes to term. Ethical and political topics arising through the treatment and care of various clinical conditions are presented. Counselling, news from wide sources, interviews with leading scientists and clinicians, replies to patients'' queries, a manufacturers'' corner, job opportunities, and other matters of relevance to the journal''s fields of study will be presented on web, paper or both. Patients will not be counselled about their condition.
