Prime Minister David Cameron’s government announced last July that it intended to abolish the HFEA by 2014, along with the Human Tissue Authority, which deals with non-reproductive tissues. Already, the HFEA appears to be attempting to preempt the government by softening its regulatory touch.
不过英国的人类受精和胚胎管理局（HFEA）可能即告寿终正寝。首相大卫·卡梅伦政府于去年10月宣布HFEA和管理非生殖组织的人体组织管理局将于2014年取消。而HFEA则似乎已先于政府放松了自己的监管力度。
