    Abstract

    Human embryonic stem cells have virtually limitless use and enormous potential for therapeutic medicine. However, the lack of common technical standards and uniform patent criteria have hampered further technological progress. For human embryonic stem cell research in the European Union (EU), the divergent regulations among member states have generated unequal access to treatment and an imbalance in distribution of benefits and duties.
