EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND STEM CELL RESEARCH

Early day motion 1099A1, tabled 30 April 2003 by Jim Dobbin (Labour/Co-operative). Signed by 14 members.

leave out from 'research' to end and add 'hopes that this vote in the European Parliament will lead to embryonic stem cell research being outlawed across the EU including in the UK; further notes that this vote will not restrict adult stem cell research which is ethically unproblematic and continues to make enormous advances in clinical trials; and congratulates the European Parliament on its visionary decision which stands in stark contrast to decisions made in the UK Parliament on this issue.

Signatures by party: Labour 4, Conservative 3, DUP 2, Labour/Co-operative 2, UUP 2, Liberal Democrat 1.
