"Mr President, I too naturally hope that the Commission really will take the information from Romania seriously. Let us not be lulled into a false sense of security, because different messages come from different governments.
We have seen the many-faceted wealth of invention that exists when it comes to exploiting women’s bodies. Many hours ago, today’s debate concerned the Fourth World Conference on Women. Many Members of the European Parliament, the Commissioner responsible and the Council’s representatives condemned the trafficking in women that was then being debated. Now, many hours later, the debate again concerns plans further to exploit women’s bodies through the egg cell trade. A proposal as cynical as that concerned with buying and selling egg cells should not be possible in a civilised and humane society.
If this were to be permitted, heaven knows what would be the future of such a market for buying and selling. What other organs would it be possible to buy and sell in a market? Now, I am not of course talking about voluntary, unpaid donations of human cells and tissue. That is something quite different from this buyers’ and sellers’ market.
I hope that the Commission will take this seriously and that a unified Parliament agrees with these calls upon the Commission to take all possible measures to prevent what I see as a breach of the law. Trading egg cells for payment should not be possible. That must be unambiguous."@en1
