I'd again like to endorse the idea that this consent should be as specific as possible. I agree with Professor Baylis on that point. But the question is on whether or not section 8 is the appropriate place to talk about the substance of consent.
I would like to read from the study, because Dr. Nisker's study has received a lot of attention here today. Let me read exactly what the conclusions were.
Of the 40 couples contacted, only 22 agreed to donate embryos to stem cell research. One couple no longer wished to donate embryos to research, so that was one explicit “no”. One package was returned as non-deliverable. There were no responses received from 16 couples, and we don't know what was behind those 16 couples.
Dr. Nisker does a good job of explaining why he thinks they can read some interpretation into those 16 couples, but I think you also need to be careful not to over-interpret the data. It's an interesting study.
