Overcoming male infertility.
Our moral and ethical statement: The founders and leadership of Paterna Biosciences recognize that work with stem cells is considered controversial by some. We can restore fertility using the patient’s own stem cells.
Our position is that we can solve genetic disorders that cause male infertility and beyond. That is our sole focus. We completely reject and will not pursue this work to enable modifications of heritable social traits. We view that as immoral and will have no part in it.
