<div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: HiraginoSans-W2; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">In Australia, research with human embryos is restricted under Commonwealth legislation first enacted in 2002. Such research must be conducted under license from the national regulator
and in compliance with the 14-day rule. This rule prohibits scientists from developing anything that falls within a very broad definition of human embryos up to or beyond 14 days. This definition captures research on emerging human embryo-like model (hELM)
that are derived from pluripotent stem cells. Accordingly, hELM research must be conducted under license in the same way as research on embryos derived from sperm-egg. Breaches of the law carries criminal penalties with fines and imprisonment up to five and
fifteen years for RIHE and PHRC, respectively. In this paper, I forward an argument in favour of radically reforming, if not, repealing the laws altogether and replacing them with more flexible forms of science governance. My argument is premised on the legislation
being outdated, unfit for purpose, and imposing costs and burdens on limited public resources that are disproportionate to the interests the laws protect. Instead, I advocate for more responsive regulation that emphasises persuasion over publishment and is
embedded with values of trust, participation, inclusion, and reflexivity.<br>
