Seanad debates

Stem Cell Research: Statements.
We are dealing with assumptions and my assumption is that this country is largely pro-life. I said previously during discussions on human reproduction – Senator Dardis made the same point – that debates in this Chamber have been calm and respectful and we have been allowed to put forward different points of view. I, therefore, accept that everybody participating in this debate is pro-life. I believe, however, that the view coming from the electorate is that it would not wish to sacrifice any human life at any stage of development for any purpose, for the good of society or otherwise.
