Forum chairman and Victoria's Chief Scientist Sir Gustav Nossal wrote: "We affirm that embryonic and adult stem cell research should be pursued as complementary avenues of investigation that hold promise for a better understanding of developmental processes, disease, assisted reproductive technology and stem cell-based human therapeutics. "There have been great advances in embryonic stem cell research in recent years, and sufficient evidence exists in animal models to justify the adoption of recommendations from the Lockhart review to enable the pursuit of this work in human systems."
