"Mr President, it is highly immoral to force Member States to provide funding for what they consider to be unethical. This includes the proposal for the funding of research into embryonic stem cells. So far, research into stem cells from adult tissue has yielded positive results. These results are useful for therapeutic purposes. However, research into embryonic stem cells has not yet yielded positive results. Meanwhile, at least 80% of funding for stem cell research is earmarked for embryonic stem cells. Why is that the case? The reason is that the results of research into embryonic stem cells can be used to produce cell lines and therefore guarantee a profit for pharmaceutical companies. The results of research into adult stem cells deliver technology which uses the patient’s own tissue for therapeutic purposes after it is processed. This will not generate profits for pharmaceutical companies. The European Union should not fund research which raises moral questions, such as research into embryonic stem cells. We must support Mr Gargani’s amendments."@en1
