We need to take public control of everything to do with stem cell research, more especially in the case of embryonic stem cells. I regard the situation in America with horror. There are bio-banks with cell lines which are sold commercially, which is utterly deplorable. As I have stated previously, I do not believe we should support within Europe the privatisation of the patenting of the human genome. We should take control of these issues, which should be public issues and not privately supported. I am concerned that if we do not support this directive – I look forward to the Tánaiste's reply to this debate – we may have an unrestricted situation, as is in America and which I find absolutely deplorable.
