No mandate for what is proposed exists either from the Oireachtas or from the Cabinet. This is simply not democratic. The Constitution approved by the Irish people indicates disapproval. So far, any reasons I have heard for supporting the proposal have been illogical, especially for those of us who accept the embryo is a human that needs protection. I hope that good sense will prevail and that Ireland will oppose this disgraceful measure regardless of what any other country does.
