What are the Ethical Considerations Surrounding iPSCs?
While iPSCs offer numerous benefits, ethical considerations must be addressed. Issues such as informed consent, privacy, and the potential for genetic manipulation need to be carefully managed. Researchers must ensure that iPSC-derived models are used responsibly and that the privacy of individuals from whom cells are derived is protected. Ethical guidelines and regulations must evolve alongside advancements in iPSC technology to ensure that its use is both beneficial and ethical.
