“…When the Human Fertilisation and Embryology (HFE) Act 1990 was introduced, it was not anticipated that the derivation of stem cells from human embryos would one day be possible for research. The discovery of the cell nuclear replacement technique [58] and the success of deriving stem cells from a human blastocyst, a technique that could be used for therapeutic cloning [59], which were not within the list of the permitted research purposes have raised questions about the scope of the Act [60], resulting in a new regulation being introduced [61]. Eventually, the HFE Act 1990 was amended in 2008 to reflect these changes including the creation of human-admixed embryos for research purposes [62].…”

Malaysia aspires to develop regenerative medicine through stem-cell technology. It needs a regulatory system that could facilitate development and prevent unethical practices. A comparative legal analysis on the regulation of stem-cell technology, with a focus on stem-cell research in Malaysia and selected Commonwealth countries that are experienced in regulating this complex technology, demonstrates that the selected Commonwealth countries have adopted a hybrid of different regulatory mechanisms. This paper argues that Malaysia should consider adopting a similar approach to equip relevant authorities with different regulatory mechanisms that are able to promote innovation in stem-cell research activities and cultivate a successful and profitable regenerative medicine industry in the future. Such a strategic action can produce an optimal regulatory outcome and help Malaysia to realize its aspiration.
