Under this heading, both advisory councils produce short ‘alerts’, identifying developments that, from an ethical point of view, merit the government’s attention. These are intended to serve as building blocks for the Health Ministry’s ‘Ethics and Health’ policy agenda, which is appended to the national budget each year in September  \nThe CEG’s annual ‘Ethics and Health Monitoring Report’ (in Dutch) provides a compilation of these alerts. In June 2005, the third of these monitoring reports was presented to the State Secretary of Health. It contains alerts on six topics, includingthe one on Embryonic stem cells presented here in translation.  \nVia [its website](its website www.ceg.nl)[ ](its website www.ceg.nl)[www.ceg.nl](its website www.ceg.nl) the CEG also functions as a source of information on ethical issues in the field of (public) health.  \nThis report  \nThis report has been drawn up by the Health Council’s Standing Committee on Medical Ethics and Health Law (see Appendix 1 for composition) .  \nAuthors: Wybo Dondorp, PhD, scientific secretary of the Standing Committee on Medical Ethics and Health Law, and Guido de Wert, PhD, professor of Biomedical Ethics, Maastricht.  \nPreferred citation:  \nHealth Council of the Netherlands.

This involved introducing the nucleus of human skin cells into egg cells from which the nucleus had been removed. It is hoped that in the long term this method can be used to culture patient-specific cell material for autologous transplantation that might prove effective in the treatment of a wide range of complaints. At present, the research is still in its initial stages. However, this research and its possible applications are controversial. Firstly because human embryos are produced that will only be used as a source of stem cells. And secondly because (a large number of) human egg cells are required for the cloning procedure. The question is whether these can be obtained by morally acceptable means.
