Public attitudes to regulation in the UK

As part of our membership of the European Assisted Conception Consortium - which brings together regulators and practitioners from across Europe - the HFEA has prepared a report on public attitudes to the regulation of fertility treatment and embryo research in the UK.

This report, containing initial findings of research carried out for the HFEA was prepared in July 2005 for members of the EACC. We felt that showing information about the current state of public opinion within the UK and how it interacts with the regulatory system would be informative for colleagues who were involved with the development of regulatory systems in their own countries.
