Japan - The Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry is to establish a study team to discuss guidelines on the production of fertilized human eggs for fertility treatment research.

The team will conduct research on present conditions in university hospitals and clinics conducting fertility treatment.

There are no governmental standards on how far it is permitted to use fertilized human eggs for research purposes. Thus it remains uncertain how related studies are being conducted.

The study team will draft a report by March next year, providing basic data with which a subsequent panel will draft the guidelines.

The team will comprise obstetricians and gynecologists, who will examine the conditions under which studies using human fertilized eggs, sperm and egg cells are conducted.
