lpv:translated text	". The lifting of the anonymity of sperm donors is the least controversial point in this proposal. The correction of defects and injuries of the human body by means of tissues and cells, on the other hand, remains a sensitive issue. There is, quite rightly, strong opposition to the creation of children with a view to having embryos available, by means of abortion, as suppliers of human repair material, and an equally justified aversion to commercial exploitation, whereby people sell material from their body as a means of making money, as has been the case for a long time with blood donors in America. I support rules that are intended to prevent human material being obtained by these means, but I do not approve of attempts to make the rules stricter, so that research of stem cells, for example, is banned. If it transpires that by means of stem cells, defects and injuries of the human body can be corrected, then it is short-sighted to rule out this alternative in advance. The same criteria should apply to organ transplantation, for which a separate arrangement is underway. I respect the view that man should not try to improve on God’s creation, but if we follow this line consistently, then some elements of existing health care also become illegal."@en1
