"Mr President, Commissioner, I would like to support Mr Fiori's report, which I think has struck the right balance. My views have changed in the course of the past year as a result of the evidence we have heard on the temporary committee.
I have two basic concerns: firstly, much of the evidence suggests that developments on embryonic stem cell research may not deliver the results we all want in terms of progress on some of the most serious illnesses that afflict many members of our society and many of our own families; secondly, in the course of this research, we will allow people, and in particular, women suffering from infertility to be exploited. I am not against embryo research – as an infertility sufferer myself, I have benefited from it and I have donated surplus embryos for research purposes – but we need to be sure that to achieve the aims that we all want, we do not focus in one direction only, while neglecting other areas of research which hold equal if not more promise of success."@en1
