Autriche: document de réflexion de la Commission de Bioéthique à propos du diagnostic pré-implantatoire.
Bioethics Commission, Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD)
(Report of the Bioethics Commission at the Federal Chancellery),
This report of the Bioethics commission on PGD consists of three parts: part I presents the arguments brought forward in the current national and international discussion in a descriptive way. Besides the scientific-medical aspects of PGD, the report summarizes thoughts on the ethical and legal admissibility of this method as well as on possible options of legal policy. Part I also meets the approval of all members of the Bioethics Commission.
The subsequent parts of this report contain on the one hand, an opinion in favour of a restricted approval of PGD (Part II) and on the other hand, an opinion in favour of maintaining the present legislation unchanged (Part III). The essential arguments as well as the subsequent recommendations for each one of these different opinions is discussed. http://www.austria.gv.at/2004/11/26/pgd_gesammtbericht_engl.pdf
