The Human Embryo in vitro explores the ways in which UK law engages
with embryonic processes under the Human Fertilisation and
Embryology Act 1990 (as amended), the intellectual basis of which
has not been reconsidered for almost thirty years. McMillan argues
that in regulating 'the embryo' - that is, a processual liminal
entity in itself - the law is regulating for uncertainty. This book
offers a fuller understanding of how complex biological processes
of development and growth can be better aligned with a legal
framework that purports to pay respect to the embryo while also
allowing its destruction. To do so it employs an anthropological
concept, liminality, which is itself concerned with revealing the
dynamics of process. The implications of this for contemporary
regulation of artificial reproduction are fully explored, and
recommendations are offered for international regimes on how they
can better align biological reality with social policy and law.
