"Mr President, I also back this report, which is based on our previous reports. This report naturally also supports unpaid donation of tissues and cells. I also consider this a very important way of making transplants safer for recipients in those countries where you can still donate blood and tissue for money. As the rapporteur emphasises, the lack of tissues – particularly spinal marrow, gametes, bone marrow, corneas and skin – is also a reason why we need to strengthen cooperation inside the EU and harmonise certain standards.
I have one important piece of good news from the Czech Republic. Scientists demonstrated last week that it is also possible to use stem cells from deceased patients for treatment purposes, even if they have been dead for several hours. These cells retain their properties even if the dead person has had a serious disease.
Great hopes are also held out for cord blood banks, which may bring a revolution in medicine in the foreseeable future. At the same time, it is right, from the perspective of value, that limits are set on donations of gametes."@en1
