The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 2008 represents the most radical overhaul of the UK's embryology laws since the enactment of the original 1990 Act. It is intended to ensure that the legislative framework keeps up with the fast pace of technological, social and medical change. The new Act is a comprehensive amending statute which makes considerable changes to the operation of both the HFEA 1990 and regulation in the area of assisted reproductive technology and embryo research.

This book provides an authoritative commentary, highlighting areas of potential difficulty and offering practical guidance.
