Engagement

PET aims to improve choices for people affected by infertility or genetic conditions. We do this in a variety of ways including policy work and education and by engaging with a wide range of stakeholders.

How do we govern SCBEM research?

Research involving stem-cell-based embryo models (SCBEMs) has enormous potential to improve human knowledge and health, but clearer governance is needed to help researchers work responsibly and maintain public trust. The SCBEM Code of Practice, published jointly by Cambridge Reproduction and PET, supports the development of best practice.

PET Fertility Policy Tracker

In England there is a huge disparity in people’s ability to access NHS-funded fertility treatment. Check what level of IVF treatment is available from your Integrated Care Board (ICB).

Fertility, Genomics and Embryo Research: Public Attitudes and Understanding

PET commissioned Ipsos to carry out a nationally representative survey of 2,233 UK adults to assess their attitudes to fertility, genomics and embryo research. The results make fascinating reading and are accompanied by expert commentary.

BioNews

BioNews is a much-valued PET publication which has been providing news, comment and reviews on the science, law and ethics of reproduction and genetics for over 25 years.
