The European Union has been careful over its history to keep out of our ethical dilemmas. In other words, we regulate for ourselves how these critical, ethical issues should be dealt with. In this instance, the Medical Council would deal with this matter. However, we want to turn that on its head and instruct the European Union as to how it should universally apply a proposal to all the member states but we would say, with equal or even more force, that this proposal should not apply to Ireland. This is a two way street, and we cannot have it both ways. It is an important matter.
