How these regulatory agencies are throttling innovation,yunder the guise of protecting the public.
The following activities are prohibited in India:
• any research related to human germline genetic engineering or reproductive cloning
• any in vitro culture of the intact human embryo, regardless of the method of its derivation, beyond 14 days or formation of primitive streak, whichever is earlier
• transfer of human blastocysts generated by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) or parthenogenetic or androgenetic techniques into a human or non-human uterus
• Any research involving implantation of human embryo into the uterus after in vitro manipulation, at any stage of development in humans or primates
( if you strictly technically interpret this then PGD prenatal genetic Diagnosis is impossible )
• animals in which any human stem cells have been introduced at any stage of development should not be allowed to breed
• research involving directed non-autologous donation of any stem cells to a particular individual is also prohibited. 6.8.3.1.
Use of Stem Cells for Therapeutic Purposes
Currently, there is no approved indication for stem cell therapy as a part of routine medical practice, other than bone marrow transplantation (BMT). Hence, stem cell therapy other than BMT (for accepted indications) is treated as experimental.
It should be conducted only as a clinical trial after approval of the IC-SCRT/IEC and DCGI (for marketable products).
All experimental trials are required to be registered with the NAC-SCRT.
Cells used in such trials must be processed under good tissue practices/ good manufacturing practices standards and the injectable product should meet pharmacopeia specifications for parenteral preparations.
The centers carrying out stem cell clinical trials and the agency/source providing such cells for the trial should be registered with the NAC-SCRT through IC-SCRT/IEC
This is more like the Demon Hiranyakashipa who took a boon from lard Brahma
even he was killed By Narasimha..
Similarly science will find a way to circumvent all theses restrictions in an innovative way..
it is Like the Old leftist slogan
you cant stop the son by holding your hand against your eyes
" here is how hiranya kasipa asked for his boon
Brahma becoming pleased by Hiranyakashipu's austerities.[4] Brahma appears before Hiranyakashipu and offers him a boon of his choice. But when Hiranyakashipu asks for immortality, Brahma refuses. Hiranyakashipu then makes the following request:
