Views

James Lawford Davies was one of several experts (Ann Furedi and Robert Winston were others) who provided ready-made press quotes for the Science Media Centre in response to the UK government's 2006 Dept of Health review of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act. The experts expressed enthusiasm for reducing restrictions on reproductive technologies such as cloning and IVF, and disappointment that the review supported restrictions or bans on certain technologies. In his quote, Lawford Davies disagreed with the Dept of Health's suggestion of a ban on the creation of human-animal hybrids for research purposes and complained that "the proposals do little to move forward from the status quo".
