Stem Cell Research: Statements.
I look forward to the findings of the Commission on Assisted Human Reproduction, chaired by Professor Donnelly, which will assist this debate. The most germane and critical point was the final one made by the Minister. She asked the House to recall that what is involved here is the establishment of clear guidelines on safeguards to govern research at European level and in member states where it is legal and deemed ethical. What is proposed explicitly respects the positions of those member states whose legal and ethical regime forbids such research, a category into which we fall.
