520 |a"Embryo research and fetal tissue research have not been as great a focus of public attention and awareness or of data gathering as infertility treatments or prenatal diagnosis, and there is a much lower level of awareness of and information about these activities in Canada. This relative lack of awareness of the issues raised by these areas of research, and of the activities carried out in them, is replicated in the microcosm of hospitals and other medical facilities, with most institution decision makers unaware of or only vaguely informed about what their own institutions are doing in these areas."--Introduction.
