Will ensure that the law that regulates human reproductive technologies is updated to reflect new technologies.
Promote public confidence in human reproductive technologies through effective regulatory controls
Will also ensure that the law takes account of changes in public attitude since the current legislation was formulated in the 1980s
Will replace two existing regulators, the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority and the Human Tissue Authority with one, the Regulatory Authority for Tissue and Embryos (RATE). RATE would create a single regulator with responsibilities across the range of human tissues, cells and blood.
