Stem Cell Research Support Urged

I was very excited today ot hear that Gordon Brown has publically and unequivically urged his support for stem cell research by writing in The Guradian. This is a major milestone in support for the research and all I can say is “About bloody time”.

In his article he says that he respected those MPs opposed to the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill ‘for religious reasons’ and I agree, a religeous imperitive against the research is a difficult one to overcome but it’s the people who say that we would be killing the unborn foetus that I ahve issues with (which I won’t go into here).

I have strong views on this because of the wide reaching implications of perfecting stem cell treatments and have been annoyed about the arguements that surround the issue. It is only going to take one person to go the distance, as we all know you can’t close Pandora’s box.
