Don Lydon (Fianna Fail)

I asked about a week ago for a debate on stem cell research in view of the vote to be taken on 27 November. An Oireachtas committee has just rejected the proposal in question. It is important the House has a chance to debate the matter because civil servants have just told us that Ireland will vote to destroy human embryos if this vote goes ahead. A good end is never justified by evil means. Members deserve an opportunity to debate the matter before the vote is taken.
