Stem Cell Research: Statements.

 

A dilemma obviously exists in terms of what we should do about European funding for research in this area. Similar dilemmas exist in other areas. For example, we have agreed to the funding of a great deal of nuclear research despite the fact that the vast majority of Irish people are fundamentally opposed to nuclear energy and nuclear power stations. I accept the point, however, that, for all its emotiveness, the issue of nuclear power does not carry the same moral charge.
