What a helpful and descriptive account of your work. I hope the blog doesn’t become overwhelming. If it stays under control, it could be an immensely valuable tool. In particular, it may help your Lordships to find new sources of expertise to assist with deliberations in the chamber, committee and elsewhere.

I was drawn to your first comments,- concerning artificial organs. This is an area with which I am involved as a lawyer and as a Director of the East of England Stem Cell Network (www.eescn.org). It is a rather narrow field, but someone has to do it. Please do feel free to contact me over matters of this sort.

With the support of my firm I have just launched a blog of my own on the subject of cell and tissue law (imaginatively called “Cell Law”). These are very early days, but I hope it will begin to provide an interesting focus on matters of regenerative medicine, cell law and artificial organs.

I wish you well and thank you for your comments. Your good work, and that of your fellow peers, is much appreciated.

Kind regards

Julian Hitchcock
