60.The list of permitted research purposes was extended by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology (Research Purposes) Regulations (SI 2001/188) (“the 2001 Regulations”), which allowed embryos to be created and used for research into stem cell therapies and the treatment of serious disease. New paragraph 3A brings together all the research purposes listed in the 1990 Act and the 2001 Regulations. It also makes three significant changes to the previous position on licensable research using embryos.
