| AdminHistory | The Report of the Committee of Inquiry into Human Fertilisation and Embryology, commonly called the Warnock Report after the chair of the committee Mary Warnock, was a UK governmental inquiry established in 1982 after the birth of Louise Brown in 1978 as a result of IVF. The enquiry looked and to develop principles for the regulation of IVF and embryology and into the social impacts of infertility treatment and embryological research which was published in 1984. The report proposed having a regulatory body to license the use, treatment, storage and research of human embryos outside the body. The Human Embryology Act was passed in 1990 and established the HFEA Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority. |
