The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990, as amended (1990 Act), provides that human embryos created by in vitro fertilisation that are not transferred to a patient cannot be allowed to develop beyond a maximum of 14 days. The 1990 Act also provides that the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) cannot licence research using human embryos unless the research is necessary or desirable for the purposes specified in the Act and the use of embryos is necessary.<\/p>
<\/p>
The HFEA has advised that the number of embryos allowed to perish in the last 12 months for which figures are available (1 July 2013 - 30 June 2014) is 174,316.<\/p>
<\/p>
In relation to the number of embryos allowed to perish since the 1990 Act came into force, the figures are as follows:<\/p>
