But to do all this, of course, we need to acquire
human tissues, so to facilitate
donations our procurement manager, Jacki Trafford, and I approach clinicians and explain the value of

human tissue, which is critical to the smooth running of our operation.
As new advances alter the possibilities of
human reproduction, we must develop a morally sound body of law governing stem cell research and
tissue donation.
