". I voted for Amendments 352, 353, 354, 355, 356, 357 by Gargani, Záborská et al because they disallow EU funding for human embryonic stem cell research, leaving it up to the Member States to fund from their national budget if they so decide. These amendments acknowledge the exploitative and ethically controversial nature of embryonic procurement and research and recognise that in order to fully respect the subsidiarity principle, EU funds should not be distributed to research that is illegal in various Member States. Nevertheless, these amendments encourage research on other promising and non-controversial stem cell research such as adult and cord blood. These amendments have already been approved by the JURI and FEMM Committees.
When the Gargani amendments failed to pass, I voted in favour of Amendments 319 and 358 by Niebler et al as a damage-control exercise. These amendments allow EU funding for unethical use of existing embryonic stem cell lines created before 31 December 2003. This is a compromise amendment. It is an attempt at damage control because it removes the incentive to create new embryos for research and would hinder any progression to cloning."@en1
