Yet current practices raise numerous ethical and policy issues relating to informed consent for donation, profit-making, and quality and safety in the procurement, processing, distribution, and international circulation of human cells and tissues. This paper reports on recent developments in the international debate surrounding these issues, and in particular on the attention cell and tissue transplantation has received in WHO's ongoing process of updating its 1991 Guiding principles on human organ transplantation. Several of the organizers of an international working group of stakeholders from a wide range of backgrounds that convened in Zurich in July 2006 summarize the areas of normative agreement and disagreement, and identify open questions regarding facts and fundamental concepts of potential normative significance. These issues must be addressed through development of common medical, scientific, legal and ethical requirements for human cell and tissue transplantation on a global basis. While guidance must accommodate the distinct ethical issues raised by activities involving human cells and tissues, consistency with normative frameworks for organ transplantation remains a prime objective.10a*Internationality10aCell Transplantation / *ethics / *legislation & jurisprudence10aConfidentiality / ethics / legislation & jurisprudence10aHumans10aInformed Consent / ethics / legislation & jurisprudence10aQuality Control10aTissue and Organ Procurement / ethics / legislation & jurisprudence10aTissue Transplantation / *ethics / *legislation & jurisprudence10aWorld Health Organization1 aSchulz-Baldes, A1 aBiller-Andorno, N1 aCapron, A M  uhttp://613633.bywedr.asia/reference/1379
