This research paper examines the medical/scientific, ethical/moral and legal/policy concerns and issues surrounding human fetal cell transplantation and its medical applications. The paper begins with a summary and analysis of the international medical literature on fetal tissue transplantation research and applications. This section outlines the scientific rationale for fetal cell transplantation and draws upon both animal and human subject studies to summarize the proven and potential medical applications of fetal transplantation. The next section examines the ethical and moral aspects of fetal cell research. The analysis provides an overview of the major ethical issues, with a close focus on the link with abortion. Ethical issues unrelated to abortion, including commercialization of tissue transfers and the questions of brain tissue and personality, are also considered. The next section examines fetal tissue research policy and national politics. The politics of fetal tissue transplantation in the United States is compared with fetal tissue transplant politics in other countries, particularly Great Britain. A final section considers the future of fetal tissue transplantation, considering both its medical promises and its policy conundrums.
