"We Moderates do not believe that the issue of trading in human eggs should be dealt with in the manner of the current resolution. The resolution we are voting on today has not been thoroughly prepared. Nor does it weigh up the ethical pros and cons in such a way as to shed light upon the whole of this complex issue.
It does not make sense categorically to call for a ban on trading in egg cells and embryos. Women who are unable to have children of their own will always be able to come to agreements with other women who are willing to donate eggs. For many, childlessness is very painful and traumatic. It would be a mistake to criminalise such agreements.
The issue of egg donations entails many complex moral considerations. More clarification than is provided by the current resolution is needed in connection with the issues both of what interventions in reproduction should be permitted and of what the consequences are both for those women who donate eggs and for the childless women who desire help.
The reason why, in spite of everything, we choose to vote in favour of the resolution has to do with the situation that gave rise to it, that is to say the exploitation of poor women in Romania, which is something we view seriously, without having a detailed knowledge of all the facts."@en1
