About the law and the debate

Official summary of the law (Knesset)

The validity of the Law was extended by an additional 4 years, following the recommendation of the advisory committee (the Supreme Helsinki Committee for Human Experimentation), on the basis of whose recommendations the Law is extended every several years. It was further established to expand the prohibition under the Law on cloning or on the use of reproductive cells (sperm and egg) that have undergone deliberate genetic modification in order to create a person, so that it will also include a prohibition on the use of cells that are not reproductive cells, and in effect on all types of cells. Accordingly, the criminal offense provision for carrying out actions contrary to the Law was updated to also apply to cells that are not reproductive cells.

Hebrew original

תוקף החוק הוארך ב-4 שנים נוספות, זאת בעקבות המלצת הוועדה המייעצת (ועדת הלסינקי העליונה לניסויים בבני אדם), שעל בסיס המלצותיה החוק מוארך מדי מספר שנים. עוד נקבע להרחיב את האיסור לפי החוק על שיבוט או על שימוש בתאי רבייה (זרע וביצית) שעברו שינוי גנטי מכוון על מנת להוליד אדם, כך שיכלול גם איסור על שימוש בתאים שאינם תאי רבייה ולמעשה על כל סוגי התאים. בהתאמה, עודכן סעיף העבירה הפלילית על ביצוע פעולות בניגוד לחוק גם בתאים שאינם תאי רבייה.
