In the Seanad Chamber, all of us respect each other's opinions and we speak in good faith. While we may have different views, all of us have respect for human life. Whereas I would not consider the human blastocyte, at this stage, to be a human being, it has the potential to be a human being and, therefore, has to be given the greatest respect and dignity. We should also remember that we are not the only people in Europe who have ethical concerns in this regard. This issue is being addressed with great consideration throughout the European Union. I do not envy the Tánaiste in the decisions she has to make in this area. My concern is that we may arrive at a situation which is totally deregulated, as in the United States of America.
