EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS AND THE NEW SCIENTIST

Motion Text

That this House welcomes the editorial on the 1st December edition of the prestigious journal, New Scientist, that the majority of bench scientists no longer think it is possible or practicable to treat patients with cells derived from cloned embryos; and, therefore, calls on Her Majesty's Government to end its support for experimental embryonic cloning and to divert its energy and resources into supporting the use of adult stem cells for the treatment of serious disease.
