The Law Report with ABC Radio National featuring Professor Angela Webster

“The Australian Law Reform Commission is conducting a review of the laws that govern how human tissue can be used. It’s been almost 50 years since the first Human Tissue Acts were introduced, and in the time since scientific, medical, and technological changes have outpaced the legislation” – journalist Kristina Kukolja.
