Hong Kong's Legislative Council debated a reproductive technology bill for the first time last week, which aims to prevent embryo gender selection on non-medical grounds. If passed, the Human Reproductive Technology Bill would also impose stringent controls on artificial fertilisation, reports the South China Morning Post. The bill provides for the setting up of a statutory body to oversee establishments engaged in embryo research.
