[Ethics and research in neurosurgery]

Ethical issues related to neural grafting are numerous. Experimental research on animals give much hope to get in next future a treatment in favour of numerous neurological disorders which are incurable at present. We must follow ethical recommendations of the NIH human fetal tissue transplantation research panel. According to the rapidity of knowledge growing in this field, so as in others, it would not be adequate to favour any law project on this subject, which does not mean that we could have something to hide. On the contrary, we would like to favour the diffusion of the works made by all ethical committees in our country. This could be one of the aims of the future National Bioethical Committee.
