The guidelines are intended to direct use of the embryos in the most moral way possible so researchers can find key information that could provide remedies for serious disease.
Genetic material from men who are unable to have children (even with the latest fertilisation techniques) will be put into eggs, and the embryos allowed to develop into babies.
The only way the embryos can be used, according to Frist's proposed guidelines, would be if donors have already decided to discard them and have approved their use in research.
Only 0.6% of the embryos created survived, and it is thought likely that defects in the imprinting process may cause the surviving adults to develop rare diseases later in life.
