To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Prior of Brampton
on 27 January (HL5039), what specific recommendations the Human Fertilisation and
Embryology Authority has made in order to resolve any conflict between the demands
of research and the best interests of patients, in particular regarding (1) a demand
for sufficient numbers of human embryos at the single-celled zygote stage in order
successfully to perform genome editing by means of CRISPR-Cas9, and (2) the usual
practice of transferring embryos to the uterus after assessing their potential to
develop further after either two to three days or five to six days.
