Re: MPs Allow 'Frankenstein' Embryos
Brilliant. Will help research into series diseases, I'm sure garinda backs this.
Some of the arguments against it were crazy. Some were saying it would be used to develop a new slave underclass to work for us. They clearly didn't understand what the bill talked about. I'm not sure how our MP voted, normally takes a few days to update on the site. |

This is a difficult one, and no doubt I will be critisized for my response but if it helps in the fighting of diseases, finding cures etc and will benefit the living and future of people then I agree with it

Not sure, its a bit weird!

Re: MPs Allow 'Frankenstein' Embryos
Just to let you know that I voted (unsuccessfully) against allowing human-animal hybrid embryos to be created for research purposes. I don't subscribe to some of the hysteria surrounding this issue and I thought the 'Frankenstein' comments of one Scottish bishop were pretty unhelpful. I tried to balance out the chances of such research coming up with a cure for some terrible diseases against my own ethical reservations about creating human-animal hybrid embryos. I also promised to listen to the views of my constituents about this - including some regular Accywebbers - before arriving at a decision.
I realise that some people will be disappointed about the way I voted but I would like you to know that I gave it a great deal of thought and did what I thought was best - whatever I did would upset some. You may also like to know that this is the first of several ethical issues that the Commons will vote on over the next day or so. We are next due to vote on what have been called 'saviour siblings' followed by abortion votes tomorrow. If anyone has views on these issues that they want to raise with me please do so either on here or email me at [email protected] |
Re: MPs Allow 'Frankenstein' Embryos
That's not how I would have voted but thank-you for letting us know Greg.
I have e-mailed you concerning abortion. Saviour siblings are by no means as clear cut, and I don't really feel like writing an essay at the moment. ;) |
Re: MPs Allow 'Frankenstein' Embryos
to each his own, i fail to see anything to convince me AGAINST this research.

Re: MPs Allow 'Frankenstein' Embryos
Quite fascinating area of science even if it is not backed by my religious beliefs.
What it will mean in the future is very interesting, but also hugely risky. Will again, like the saviour sibling issue, need to be regulated very strictly. |

Think people are still voting with their macabre thoughts on this and not with their heads. Unfortunately, medical research has to be carried out first with the help of our animal kingdom.. can't use plant seeds can we, although some folks will argue they can scream too !! Bet if they mentioned could help cure cancer, would be a very different matter. |

Quite a conservative rant there, not entirely MY view as I was brought up liberally as a catholic, but definitely an existing view. |

Re: MPs Allow 'Frankenstein' Embryos
Personally I'm happy that parliament has voted for this bill, and that Britain retains its status as a world leader in stem cell research. Human-animal embryo research is banned in some countries including Australia, France, Germany and Italy.
It was a free vote, and I happily got to tell Greg Pope my views on this issue. He, like all the others, voted with his conscience. Continuing research could mean that in the future a whole range of diseases could even be cured. |
Re: MPs Allow 'Frankenstein' Embryos
gotta say i feel fer once the majority of parliment has voted fer the majority of people, makes a refreshing change.;)
