http://www5b.biglobe.ne.jp/~skm/magnum.htm
<上記サイトより抜粋>提起されるものは非常に重い。どこまでが遺体でどこまでが廃棄物か、死体(生な言い方ですいません)利用としての臓器移植がありなら胎児の利用はありなのかなしなのか。利用して病を直し命をつなぐことはありなのかなしなのか。そういう倫理は努力して確立するのか、ほっといてなるようになるのを待つのか。きれいごとではおさまんないし、置かれた立場によって意見も大きく分かれるだろうし。‥というようなことを読者が考えるとして、そういう意味で貴重なまんがでしょう。

<アブストラクト>障害された中枢神経系の再生は困難であるが,動物実験では胎児組織の移植が有用であると報告されている.しかし,胎児組織の移植ではその供給が不十分なうえ,倫理面でも問題があり,臨床応用は厳しいと考えられる.最近,胎児組織に代わる移植材料の候補として神経幹細胞が注目されている.神経幹細胞は自己複製能と多分化能を有する未分化な細胞で,選択的培養法により無尽蔵に増殖するので,十分なドナーの供給が可能である.

<アブストラクト>近年,胎児中脳組織に含まれる未分化な前駆細胞やドパミンニューロンをin
vitroで作製する技術が開発されつつあり,Parkinson病に対する胎児脳に代わる有望な移植材料として期待を集めている.しかし,分化誘導後の培養細胞集団の中には未知の細胞が多数含まれているため,必要な細胞を選択的に分離・濃縮して用いることが必要である.著者等は,Parkinson病の治療に有用であると思われる細胞種に発現する遺伝子のプロモーター制御下で蛍光蛋白質遺伝子を発現させ,FACSを用いて分離する方法を開発した.分離した細胞をParkinsonモデルラットの脳へ移植したところ,効率よく症状を回復させた.

Abstract:生後6ヵ月男児。T細胞欠損による複合型免疫不全症で,T細胞数の減少,末梢血のB細胞数の増加,血清IgG濃度の低下があり,CTスキャンとMRIで胸腺像を認めなかった。胸腺ホルモンのチモシン投与によりT細胞機能は部分的に回復したが,T細胞数は正常化しなかった。生後26ヵ月に,妊娠16週の女性胎児から得た胸腺を照射後に移植した。移植後にT細胞数(主にCD4+細胞)は50-70%に増加した。軽度の移植片宿主相関反応が生じ,数種の免疫抑制剤を投与した。染色体分析では,T細胞は46XYと46XXの2つの核型をもち,一方,B細胞は46XYの核型のみであった。細胞免疫性と血清IgG濃度は低いままであった。しかし,定期的γ-グロブリンと経口的抗真菌剤の投与により,患者は現在6歳3ヵ月で,ほとんど異常なく生活している。骨髄移植の適当な提供者が得られない場合には,照射胸腺の移植は有効な方法であった

Abstract:ヒトにおいて母性年齢が高まるにつれ染色体的に,また身体的に異常な児が生まれる頻度が増加すること,また妊孕能が低下することはよく知られた事実である.今回の研究は卵巣機能が低下傾向に向かう35歳以上の女性の可及的多数の人工妊娠中絶胎児を対象として染色体異常のタイプならびに出現頻度を明らかにすることを目的とした.35〜48歳の中高年齢妊婦の計934例の中絶児を染色体の面から観察した.最終月経の第1日から計算した妊娠週数は平均7.6±2.0週であった.また母体の平均年齢は39.6±2.7歳であった.染色体学的に異常の存在を認める胎児の頻度はこれら中絶児では高く,その頻度は母体年齢の増加につれて著明に上昇した.すなわち35〜39歳では9.6%(40/418),40〜44歳では20.7%(100/484),そして45〜48歳では43.8%(14/32)で平均16.5%であった.染色体異常の実態をより明らかにするためには,同じ中高年妊婦の自然流産児の同様な染色体観察をさらに行うことが必要と考える

要約:国立保健研究所は、公法103-43・国立保健研究所改訂1993年法の改正に伴う治療的ヒト胎児組織移植研究の実施と援助のための暫定指針の廃止を発表するものである。法の適切な規定の概要は以下のとおりである。
SUMMARY:
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is announcing the withdrawal of its
interim guidelines for the support and conduct of therapeutic human fetal
tissue transplantation research because of the superseding provisions of P.L.
103-43, the National Institutes of Health Revitalization Act of 1993. A summary
of pertinent provisions of the Act is provided below.
背景
Background
1993年1月22日、クリントン大統領は、保健およびヒューマンサービス省の長官(Secretary of Health and Human Services)に対して5年間のモラトリアムを終了するように指示した。人工妊娠中絶胎児から採取されたヒト胎児組織を用いる移植治療の研究に連邦の資金を拠出することについてのモラトリアムである。
On
January 22, 1993, President Clinton issued a directive to the Secretary of
Health and Human Services ending a five-year moratorium on Federal funding of
therapeutic transplantation research that uses human fetal tissue derived from
induced abortions.

Attention
is directed to section 498A of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 289g-1)
added by P.L. 103-43, the NIH Revitalization Act of 1993. The provisions of
that section pertinent to research on transplantation of fetal tissue are
summarized as follows:
・Human fetal tissue means tissue or cells
obtained from a dead human embryo or fetus after a spontaneous or induced
abortion, or after a stillbirth.
・Human fetal tissue may be used regardless
of whether the tissue is obtained pursuant to a spontaneous or induced abortion
or pursuant to a stillbirth.
・The Secretary of Health and Human
Services may conduct or support research on the transplantation of human fetal
tissue for therapeutic purposes.
・The woman donating the human fetal tissue
must sign a statement declaring that the tissue is being donated for
therapeutic transplantation research, the donation is being made without any restriction
regarding the identity of individuals who may be the recipients of
transplantations of the tissue, and the donation is being made without her (the
donor) having been informed of the identity of those individuals who may be the
recipients.
・The attending physician must sign a
statement declaring that the tissue has been obtained in accord with the
donor's signed statement and that full disclosure has been made to the donating
woman of (1) the attending physician's interest, if any, in the research to be
conducted with the tissue, and (2) any known medical risks to the donor or
risks to her privacy that might be associated with the donation of the tissue and
are in addition to the risks associated with the woman's medical care. In the
case of tissue obtained pursuant to an induced abortion, the attending physician's
statement must also declare that the consent of the woman for the abortion was
obtained prior to requesting or obtaining consent for donation, the abortion
was conducted in accord with applicable State Law, and no alteration of the
timing, method, or procedures used to terminate the pregnancy was made solely
for the purposes of obtaining the tissue.
・The individual with the principal
responsibility for conducting the research must sign a statement declaring that
the individual is aware that the tissue is human fetal tissue donated for
research purposes and may have been obtained pursuant to a spontaneous or
induced abortion or pursuant to a stillbirth; that the principally responsible
researcher has provided such information to other individuals with responsibilities
regarding the research; that the principally responsible researcher will
require, prior to obtaining the consent of a person to be a recipient of a
transplantation of the tissue, written acknowledgment of receipt of the
foregoing information by such recipient; and that the principally responsible
researcher has had no part in any decisions as to the timing, method, or
procedures used to terminate the pregnancy made solely for the purposes of the
research.
・Human fetal tissue may be used only if
the head of the agency or other entity conducting the research involved
certifies to the Secretary of Health and Human Services that the statements
required herein will be available for audit by the Secretary [HHS].
・Research involving the transplantation of
human fetal tissue for therapeutic purposes must be conducted in accord with
applicable State law and the Secretary may not provide support for such
research unless the applicant for assistance agrees to so conduct the research.
The conduct of such research by the Secretary must be in accord with applicable
State and local law.

(In
addition to those required by 45CFR Part 16, Subparts A,C, and/or D)
If
you conduct research that involves transplantation of human fetal tissue, you
should follow:
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/not93-235.html
(NIH
Guide, Volume 22 #22, September 3, 1993, "Withdrawal of Interim NIH
Guidelines for the Support and Conduct of Therapeutic Human Fetal Tissue
Transplantation Research in Light of Superseding Provisions of Public Law
103-43, The NIH Revitalization Act of 1993"). This guidance summarizes
provisions on the acquisition and use of human fetal tissue for
transplantation.
If
you conduct basic research that uses human fetal tissue, with no transplantation, the following provisions
apply to your acquisition and use of fetal tissue:
No
profits should be involved:
42
USC 289g-2 Provides that it is "unlawful for any person to knowingly acquire,
receive, or otherwise transfer any human fetal tissue for valuable
consideration in interstate commerce. Human fetal tissue means tissues or cells
obtained from a dead human embryo or fetus after a spontaneous or induced
abortion or after a stillbirth. Valuable consideration does not include
reasonable payments associated with the transportation, implantation,
processing, preservation, quality control, or storage of human fetal
tissue."
Researchers
should have no involvement in the termination of pregnancy:
45CFR
46.206(a)(3) Individuals who use fetal tissue in their research "will have
no part in (i) any decisions as to the timing, method, and procedures used to
terminate the pregnancy, and (ii) determining the viability of the fetus at the
termination of the pregnancy" that generates the tissue they use.
The
tissue must be obtained in accordance with state and local law:
45CFR
46.210: "Activities involving the dead fetus, macerated fetal material, or
cells, tissue, or organs excised from a dead fetus shall be conducted only in
accordance with any applicable State or local laws regarding such
activities."

recognized American Indian and Alaska Native Tribal Governments.
(d) The requirements of this subpart are in
addition to those imposed under the other subparts of this part.
§46.202
Definitions.
The definitions in Sec. 46.102 shall be
applicable to this subpart as well. In addition, as used in this subpart:
(a) Dead fetus means a fetus that exhibits
neither heartbeat, spontaneous respiratory activity, spontaneous movement of
voluntary muscles, nor pulsation of the umbilical cord.
(b) Delivery means complete separation of the
fetus from the woman by expulsion or extraction or any other means.
(c) Fetus means the product of conception from
implantation until delivery.
(d) Neonate means a newborn.
(e) Nonviable neonate means a neonate after
delivery that, although living, is not viable.
(f) Pregnancy encompasses the period of time
from implantation until delivery. A woman shall be assumed to be pregnant if
she exhibits any of the pertinent presumptive signs of pregnancy, such as
missed menses, until the results of a pregnancy test are negative or until
delivery.
(g) Secretary means the Secretary of Health and
Human Services and any other officer or employee of the Department of Health
and Human Services to whom authority has been delegated.
(h) Viable, as it pertains to the neonate, means
being able, after delivery, to survive (given the benefit of available medical
therapy) to the point of independently maintaining heartbeat and respiration.
The Secretary may from time to time, taking into account medical advances,
publish in the Federal Register guidelines to assist in determining whether a
neonate is viable for purposes of this subpart. If a neonate is viable then it
may be included in research only to the extent permitted and in accordance with
the requirements of subparts A and D of this part.
§46.203
Duties of IRBs in connection with research involving pregnant women, fetuses,
and neonates.
In addition to other responsibilities assigned
to IRBs under this part, each IRB shall review research covered by this subpart
and approve only research which satisfies the conditions of all applicable
sections of this subpart and the other subparts of this part.
§46.204
Research involving pregnant women or fetuses.
Pregnant women or fetuses may be involved in
research if all of the following conditions are met:
(a) Where scientifically appropriate,
preclinical studies, including studies on pregnant animals, and clinical
studies, including studies on nonpregnant women, have been conducted and
provide data for assessing potential risks to pregnant women and fetuses;
(b) The risk to the fetus is caused solely by
interventions or procedures that hold out the prospect of direct benefit for
the woman or the fetus; or, if there is no such prospect of benefit, the risk
to the fetus is not greater than minimal and the purpose of the research is the
development of important biomedical knowledge which cannot be obtained by any
other means;
(c) Any risk is the least possible for achieving
the objectives of the research;
(d) If the research holds out the prospect of
direct benefit to the pregnant woman, the prospect of a direct benefit both to
the pregnant woman and the fetus, or no prospect of benefit for the woman nor
the fetus when risk to the fetus is not greater than minimal and the purpose of
the research is the development of important biomedical knowledge that cannot
be obtained by any other means, her consent is obtained in accord with the
informed consent provisions of subpart A of this part;
(e) If the research holds out the prospect of
direct benefit solely to the fetus then the consent of the pregnant woman and
the father is obtained in accord with the informed consent provisions of
subpart A of this part, except that the father's consent need not be obtained
if he is unable to consent because of unavailability, incompetence, or
temporary incapacity or the pregnancy resulted from rape or incest.
(f) Each individual providing consent under
paragraph (d) or (e) of this section is fully informed regarding the reasonably
foreseeable impact of the research on the fetus or neonate;
(g) For children as defined in Sec. 46.402(a)
who are pregnant, assent and permission are obtained in accord with the
provisions of subpart D of this part;
(h) No inducements, monetary or otherwise, will
be offered to terminate a pregnancy;
(i) Individuals engaged in the research
will have no part in any decisions as to the timing, method, or procedures used
to terminate a pregnancy; and
(j) Individuals engaged in the research
will have no part in determining the viability of a neonate
§46.205
Research involving neonates.
(a) Neonates of uncertain viability and
nonviable neonates may be involved in research if all of the following
conditions are met:
(1) Where scientifically appropriate,
preclinical and clinical studies have been conducted and provide data for
assessing potential risks to neonates.
(2) Each individual providing consent
under paragraph (b)(2) or (c)(5) of this section is fully informed regarding
the reasonably foreseeable impact of the research on the neonate.
(3) Individuals engaged in the research
will have no part in determining the viability of a neonate.
(4) The requirements of paragraph (b) or
(c) of this section have been met as applicable.
(b)Neonates of uncertain viability. Until
it has been ascertained whether or not a neonate is viable, a neonate may not
be involved in research covered by this subpart unless the following additional
conditions have been met:
(1) The IRB determines that:
(i) The research holds out the prospect
of enhancing the probability of survival of the neonate to the point of
viability, and any risk is the least possible for achieving that objective, or
(ii) The purpose of the research is the
development of important biomedical knowledge which cannot be obtained by other
means and there will be no added risk to the neonate resulting from the
research; and
(2) The legally effective informed consent
of either parent of the neonate or, if neither parent is able to consent
because of unavailability, incompetence, or temporary incapacity, the legally
effective informed consent of either parent's legally authorized representative
is obtained in accord with subpart A of this part, except that the consent of
the father or his legally authorized representative need not be obtained if the
pregnancy resulted from rape or incest.
(c) Nonviable neonates. After delivery nonviable
neonate may not be involved in research covered by this subpart unless all of
the following additional conditions are met:
(1) Vital functions of the neonate will not be artificially
maintained;
(2) The research will not terminate the heartbeat or
respiration of the neonate;
(3) There will be no added risk to the neonate resulting
from the research;
(4) The purpose of the research is the development of
important biomedical knowledge that cannot be obtained by other means; and
(5) The legally effective informed consent of both parents
of the neonate is obtained in accord with subpart A of this part, except that
the waiver and alteration provisions of Sec. 46.116(c) and (d) do not apply.
However, if either parent is unable to consent because of unavailability,
incompetence, or temporary incapacity, the informed consent of one parent of a
nonviable neonate will suffice to meet the requirements of this paragraph
(c)(5), except that the consent of the father need not be obtained if the
pregnancy resulted from rape or incest. The consent of a legally authorized
representative of either or both of the parents of a nonviable neonate will not
suffice to meet the requirements of this paragraph (c)(5).
(d)
Viable neonates. A neonate, after delivery, that has been determined to be
viable may be included in research only to the extent permitted by and in
accord with the requirements of subparts A and D of this part.
§46.206 Research involving, after delivery, the placenta, the dead
fetus or fetal material.
分娩後の、胎盤、死亡胎児、胎児由来試料を利用する研究
(a) Research involving, after delivery, the placenta; the dead
fetus; macerated fetal material; or cells, tissue, or organs excised from a
dead fetus, shall be conducted only in accord with any applicable Federal,
State, or local laws and regulations regarding such activities.
(b) If information associated with material described in paragraph
(a) of this section is recorded for research purposes in a manner that living
individuals can be identified, directly or through identifiers linked to those
individuals, those individuals are research subjects and all pertinent subparts
of this part are applicable.

Balancing Act of Life and Death
New
uses of fetuses and brain-absent babies trouble doctors
BY CHRISTINE GORMAN
After
years of research, doctors feel they are ready to try to alleviate many
incurable conditions, ranging from congenital heart defects to degenerative
nerve diseases, through the transplanting of organs and tissues. Their pioneering triumphs, however, have
created a Faustian dilemma. Each year in the U.S. hundreds of infants die who could
have been saved by a new heart; literally millions of people with diseases like
Parkinson's and Alzheimer's may eventually benefit from tissue implants. Should
physicians manipulate the definitions of life and death to meet this growing
demand for donor tissue? The...

Parkinson's
Research Is Set Back By Failure of Fetal Cell Implants
By GINA KOLATA
A carefully controlled study that tried
to treat Parkinson's disease by implanting cells from aborted fetuses into
patients' brains not only failed to show an overall benefit but also revealed a
disastrous side effect, scientists report.
In about 15 percent of patients, the
cells apparently grew too well, churning out so much of a chemical that
controls movement that the patients writhed and jerked uncontrollably.
The researchers say that while some
patients have similar effects from taking too high a dose of their Parkinson's
drug, in this case the drugs did not cause the symptoms and there is no way to
remove or deactivate the transplanted cells.
On the researchers' advice, six patients
who enrolled in the study but who had not yet had the implantation operation
have decided to forgo it.
The results, reported today in The New
England Journal of Medicine[4],
are a severe blow to what has been considered a highly promising avenue of
research for treating Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and other
neurological ailments.
The study indicates that the simple solution of injecting fetal cells into a
patient's brain may not be enough to treat complex diseases involving nerve
cells and connections that are poorly understood. Some say it is time to go
back to the laboratory and to animals before doing any more operations on
humans.

cells in treating Parkinson's disease, with former calling for halt to
experiments and latter opting to continue experimentation; examines ethics of
giving license to human experiments that appear to have done little good, or of

noticed that his hands trembled even when they were at rest. He was in his 60's,
still robust and proud of his prowess as a champion handball player in the
Bronx. The trembling was the first sign of Parkinson's disease. My uncle's
course was typical. Although drugs helped for a while, the disease proved
unrelenting as cells in his brain died and he was deprived of dopamine, an
essential chemical. His warm smile was replaced by the blank mask of largely
immobile facial muscles. His trembling hands spilled food. Walking was a
struggle of shuffling and the terror of falling.

Stem
Cells Hint at Promise For Inborn Brain Diseases
By NICHOLAS WADE
In further testimony to the medical
promise of stem cells, biologists have found that human neural stem cells can
become incorporated in a fetal monkey's brain and share in its development,
suggesting a novel way of correcting inborn brain diseases.
The human stem cells were injected into
the brains of monkeys in the womb, and helped not only to construct the
monkeys' brains but also to form the reservoir of stem cells from which new
brain cells are generated throughout adult life.
The experiment, being published
electronically by Science magazine today, was performed by Dr. Evan Y. Snyder,
an expert on brain stem cells at Harvard Medical School; Dr. Curt R. Freed of
the University of Colorado, a researcher who uses fetal brain cells to treat
Parkinson's disease; and their colleagues.[5]

Progress
Is Reported on Parkinson's Disease
By
NICHOLAS WADE
Scientists working with human
embryonic stem cells have converted them into the type of brain cell that is
lost in Parkinson's disease, and have shown that the equivalent cells in mice
alleviate Parkinson-like symptoms in rodents.
''What we are showing here is
that we absolutely, definitely have the right cell,'' said Dr. Ron McKay, a
stem cell biologist who works at the National Institutes of Health.
The cells produce a
neuron-to-neuron signalling chemical called dopamine. The loss of dopamine is
believed to cause many of the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Dr. McKay hopes
that the cells he has developed will one day be used to treat the disease,
after he has spent two years testing how they work in monkeys. Indeed a surgeon
could put them in patients quite quickly ''but they wouldn't know what they
have done,'' Dr. McKay said.
The need for caution is
apparent in his own experiments, in which he injected the dopamine-producing
mouse cells into the brains of rats. The dopamine-producing cells on one side
of the rats brains had previously been destroyed with a special chemical. So
the rats, suffering Parkinsons-like effects on one side of their brains, tended
to move in circles.
In the article published today
in Nature, Dr. McKay and his colleagues describe how they injected their
dopamine-producing cells into the damaged sides of the rat brains[6].
The cells wired themselves up to other cells in the brain and behaved just like
dopamine-making cells, helping the rat's walking behavior.

イギリスの600人あまりの女性を対象にして調査を行った。彼女らのほとんどは実際に中絶を経験したことはなかった。94%の女性が胎児組織研究を支持すると答えた。その調査のなかで、女性たちは胎児組織を提供してもいいかと問われたわけではなかったが、ほとんどが、そのような提供には好意的な態度を示すだろうと予想した(アンダーソンら、1994年)。 In a survey
of more than 600 women in the United Kingdom — most of whom had never had an
abortion — 94 percent said they supported fetal tissue research. Although the
women were not asked in the survey to donate their own fetal tissue, most
predicted that they would be willing to make such a donation (Anderson et
al., 1994)

In 1974, the National Commission for the
Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research was
established within HEW, the former U.S. Department of Health, Education, and
Welfare (now the Department of Health and Human Services). Its mission was to
examine the study of fetuses. Less than a year later, HEW issued regulations on
research involving the fetus, stipulating that research involving dead fetuses
or their tissues be permitted in accord with state law (Coutts, 1993).…中略…Medical research with
embryonic and fetal tissue progressed steadily from the mid-1970s to the
mid-1980s, until 1987, when the New England Journal of Medicine reported
the successful transplantation of fetal neural tissue into the brains of two
young patients with Parkinson's disease. The successful procedure led to
requests for government funding of similar procedures. It also led to a heated
outcry from anti-abortion activists. Their inflammatory and alarmist
misinformation campaign soon led to a Reagan administration moratorium in 1988
on all federally funded research involving the transplantation of tissue from
induced abortions into humans (Coutts, 1993). …中略…Despite the conclusions of the 1988 NIH Fetal
Tissue Transplantation Research Panel supporting embryonic tissue
transplantation research as "acceptable public policy," the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services refused to lift the moratorium on federally
funded fetal tissue research. During the administration of President George
Bush (1989-1993), the moratorium was extended indefinitely. In February 1993,
his first full month in office, President Bill Clinton lifted the moratorium
(Coutts, 1993). As of August 2001, the moratorium has not been reinstated.
