Re: MPs Allow 'Frankenstein' Embryos
I too am happy, any chance at a cure is a good thing. I think the way people describe what is being done is often plainly wrong and used often to justify their own views.
IMHO MP's are paid to vote how the majority of their constituents wish them to, not by their own ethical or religious beliefs. In my job there are things that I believe are done wrong. I can express my opinion but at teh end of teh day i am paid to do what those who pay me wish me to. Otherwise we don't have a democratic goverment we have a tiny percentage of teh population deciding what they think is best for teh majority. Whilst this issue did get decent press coverage it would be nice if Greg could maybe pop in once a month with a breakdown of teh subjects that will be voted on so people are able to express opinions to him ahead of teh vote. |

Re: MPs Allow 'Frankenstein' Embryos
i'm exuberant on this win
my daughter has thalassemia which means her bone marrow fails to produce any blood and thus by has to live by transfusions all her life. an advancement in this field would not only mean her making all that blood herself but her saving the need for that blood for someone else. on a side note it may also mean i get my life long ambition of having super-strength. its nice to see the mp come on here so soon after the vote and let us know his thoughts.

Re: MPs Allow 'Frankenstein' Embryos
I agree with it if it will save peoples lives and finds cures for conditions that are currently uncurable,
i understand blazeys argument, being catholic myself, but things move on and many of the catholic teachings do not translate into modern day life.

Re: MPs Allow 'Frankenstein' Embryos
I was againt this going ahead on religious grounds, and contacted Greg some time ago on the matter, I can quite understand people wanting this to go ahead so as to find a cure for diseases. I sure Greg thought long and hard when making his decision, and its comendable that he came on here and told us knowing there were people who would disagree

Re: MPs Allow 'Frankenstein' Embryos
I think this type of research is only as 'safe' as the hands of the scientists it is in. If we are not110% convinced of the scientists and their motivation then it should not go ahead as the process will not be reversable

Re: MPs Allow 'Frankenstein' Embryos
A slippery slope. Just because it's possible to do something doesn't mean that you should. Science is way ahead of the ethics.

Re: MPs Allow 'Frankenstein' Embryos
i agree that we shouldnt do things just because we can but for me that means things that will harm us, bombs, guns etc not things that will help us.
