Don Lydon (Fianna Fail)

Some time ago we had a debate in this House on stem cell research. Will the Leader provide time to revisit this subject? I ask this in light of the fact that Members of the European Parliament are today being asked to sanction experimentation on and destruction of human embryos. I remind the House that human embryos are not potential human beings but human beings with potential. If we go along in any way with this type of endeavour, or approve it, we can never again criticise the Nazis for their experimentation on babies. The only difference is one of age.
