lpv:translated text	"I am very pleased that, against the advice of the rapporteur, Mr Liese, the European Parliament has today opened the door to the funding of research into embryonic stem cells. Through this vote, the European Parliament is delivering a genuine message of hope to all patients (diabetics, those suffering from Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases and people with chronic heart failure and other diseases). It gives researchers the means of finding, and perhaps soon, remedies for incurable diseases. There are three reasons why I voted as I did. Firstly, my vote was perfectly consistent with the position adopted by the Strasbourg plenary on 15 May 2002 on the Sixth Framework Programme for Research and Development. The creation of embryos from gametes donated for the purpose of obtaining stem cells is therefore prohibited. Secondly, the five Member States opposed to any funding of embryonic stem cell research will not be able to prevent Europe from advancing, since such funding is in the interests of Europeans awaiting treatment. Thirdly, the opponents of this form of regenerative medicine find their position to be self-contradictory. They are people who consider that the embryo is an entirely independent living being from the first day but who are in favour, however, of the destruction of supernumerary embryos cultivated for the purposes of fertilisation."@en1
