In a letter dated 17/12/2018, this charity stated: “Currently CHSS do not have a specific human embryo experimentation policy, and we do not specifically exclude human embryo experimentation from the research we fund; so in theory, a project involving human embryo experimentation could be funded by CHSS through its research grants. However, after looking at the last 20 years of projects we cannot find that we have funded any.
“… CHSS funds research projects at a number of universities in Scotland. We understand that some of these universities do, on projects funded by other organisations, carry out research involving human embryo experimentation.” [#AMRC#]
