Such advances offer a potential cure for hitherto incurable diseases. But, as on many occasions in the past, one of the main obstacles to medical progress is not scientific limitations, but pseudo-ethical dogma born out of religious misunderstandings of God’s real wishes for mankind. Such misconceptions have sadly changed very little since the Dark Ages’ comprehension of the physical world. Accordingly, in these legislative discussions, we have again heard heated ethical disagreements and calls for the prohibition of anything to do with human embryonic stem cells, hybrid chimeras and payment for human tissue. I ask you, colleagues, what is ethically wrong in using an animal ovary into which human genetic material is inserted in order to produce a certain human chemical and save someone’s life? What is ethically wrong with a unique human tissue being obtained from a donor in return for payment in order to use it in the treatment of a child’s cancer? After all, what is less ethical: to use embryonic stem cells or hybrid chimeras and to allow payment, or to let a child to die?"@ro¹⁸

Sådanne fremskridt åbner muligheder for behandling af hidtil uhelbredelige sygdomme. Som vi har set mange gange før, er en af de største hindringer for medicinske fremskridt imidlertid ikke videnskabelige begrænsninger, men pseudoetiske dogmer grundet i religiøse misforståelser omkring, hvad Gud ønsker for os. Denne manglende forståelse har desværre ikke ændret sig meget siden forståelsen for den psykiske verden i den mørke middelalder. Vi har derfor under disse lovgivningsforhandlinger igen været vidne til ophedede diskussioner om etiske spørgsmål, og der er blevet stillet krav om forbud mod alt, der har at gøre med fosterstamceller, hybrider eller kimærer og betaling for humant væv. Hvad er der i etisk henseende galt med at indføre humant genetisk materiale i et dyrs ovarie med henblik på at fremstille et bestemt humant kemisk stof og redde en persons liv? Hvad er der i etisk henseende galt med at udtage unikt humant væv fra en donor mod betaling og anvende dette til behandling af et barn, der lider af kræft? Hvad er egentlig mindst etisk korrekt: at anvende embryonale stamceller eller hybrider og kimærer og at tillade betaling eller at lade et barn dø?"@da²

Dessa framsteg erbjuder ett potentiellt botemedel för hittills obotliga sjukdomar. Men som vid många tillfällen under historiens gång är ett av de största hindren för medicinska framsteg inte vetenskapliga begränsningar utan kvasietiska dogmer till följd av religiösa missförstånd av Guds verkliga önskan för mänskligheten. Detta slags missförstånd har sorgligt nog inte ändrats mycket sedan medeltidens uppfattning av den fysiska världen. Således har vi i dessa lagstiftningsdiskussioner återigen hört hetsiga etiska meningsskiljaktigheter och uppmaningar till förbud mot allt som har att göra med mänskliga embryonala stamceller, hybrider eller chimärer och betalning för mänsklig vävnad. Jag frågar er, kolleger, vad är etiskt fel med att använda en äggstock från ett djur och föra in genetiskt material från en människa för att framställa en viss mänsklig kemisk sammansättning och rädda livet på någon? Vad är etiskt fel med att få unik mänsklig vävnad från en donator mot betalning och använda den för att behandla ett cancersjukt barn?

Tämä kehitys tuo mukanaan potentiaalisia hoitoja sairauksiin, joita ei ole aiemmin voitu hoitaa. Kuten usein aiemminkin, suurimpia esteitä lääketieteen kehityksessä eivät ole tieteelliset rajoitteet vaan muka eettiset dogmit, joita syntyy, kun uskontoon vedoten ymmärretään väärin se, mitä Jumala todella toivoo ihmiskunnalta. Nämä harhakäsitykset ovat ikävä kyllä muuttuneet hyvin vähän siitä, miten pimeällä keskiajalla fyysinen maailma ymmärrettiin. Olemme näiden lainsäädäntökeskustelujen aikana saaneet näin ollen jälleen todistaa kiihkeitä eettisiä kiistoja ja kuulla vaatimuksia siitä, että kaikki, mikä liittyy ihmisalkioiden kantasoluihin, hybridikimairoihin ja ihmiskudosten luovuttamiseen maksua vastaan, olisi kiellettävä. Hyvät kollegat, kysyn teiltä, mikä on eettisesti väärin siinä, että eläinten munasarjoja käytetään siihen, että niihin istutetaan ihmisten perintöainesta tiettyjen ihmisperäisten kemikaalien tuottamiseksi ja ihmishengen pelastamiseksi? Mikä on eettisesti väärin siinä, että ainutlaatuista ihmiskudosta otetaan luovuttajalta maksua vastaan, jotta tätä kudosta voidaan käyttää lapsen syövän hoitamisessa? Mikä on loppujen lopuksi vähemmän eettistä: se, että käytämme alkioiden kantasoluja tai hybridikimairoja ja sallimme luovuttamisen maksua vastaan, vai se, että annamme lapsen kuolla?"@fi⁷

Deze vooruitgang biedt mogelijk genezing voor tot nu toe ongeneeslijke ziekten. Maar evenals bij vele eerdere gelegenheden, zijn het niet de wetenschappelijke beperkingen die een van de belangrijkste obstakels voor medische vooruitgang vormen, maar pseudo-ethische dogma’s die voortkomen uit religieus onbegrip over wat God werkelijk met de mensheid voor heeft. Wat dergelijke misvattingen betreft, is er ten opzichte van de duistere middeleeuwen en het begrip van de fysieke wereld in die tijd helaas heel weinig veranderd. Bijgevolg zijn we in verband met deze wetgeving weer getuige geweest van verhitte discussies over ethische tegenstellingen en een roep om het verbieden van alles wat maar te maken heeft met menselijke embryonale stamcellen, hybride chimaeren en het betalen voor menselijk weefsel. Collega’s, ik vraag u wat er ethisch verkeerd is aan het gebruik van dierlijke eierstokken waaraan menselijk genetisch materiaal is toegevoegd om een bepaalde menselijke stof te produceren waarmee iemands leven kan worden gered? Wat is er ethisch verkeerd aan dat een uniek menselijk weefsel tegen betaling van een donor wordt verkregen om het te gebruiken bij de behandeling van kanker bij een kind? Wat is uiteindelijk minder ethisch: gebruik maken van embryonale stamcellen of hybride chimaeren en betaling toestaan, of een kind laten sterven?"@nl³
