".
I support the Liese report because I believe that stem cell research may hold the key to restoring and regenerating many vital bodily functions lost in various devastating illnesses and injuries. This proposal may offer the possibility of treating Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, spinal cord injuries, strokes, burns, heart diseases, diabetes, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
The proposal is to fund research only in Member States where such funding is requested. Research would only involve embryos created before June 2002 for medically assisted IVF treatment but now 'supernumerary' and which would otherwise be destroyed. Embryos would have to be voluntarily donated with informed consent and without payment.
Researchers would have to fully comply with comprehensive ethical and legal rules. Research would only be funded where it meets agreed objectives and where there is no adequate alternative. Furthermore the results would be made public.
In these circumstances, I believe the European Parliament should adopt this proposal and all Member States should support the European Parliament's position in Council on 27th November."@en1
