"Mr President, a few days ago, on 29 June, the 120th anniversary of the birth of Robert Schuman took place, one of the founding fathers of a united Europe. It is a shame that this anniversary went by so unnoticed; it is a shame because I do not know how this honourable statesman would feel if he were here today and could see how the European Parliament is breaking yet another barrier protecting the human species from destructive biomedical experiments.
We have to call a spade a spade. The funding of research into human embryos and embryonic stem cells under the Seventh Framework Programme, a Programme which is necessary in other respects, creates a dangerous testing ground with respect to
. Human embryos are not objects; they are the beginnings of a human being just like you, like me and like all of us. How does this fit in with respect for the Charter of Fundamental Rights, for instance, which states in Article 1 that ‘Human dignity is inviolable. It must be respected and protected’? How does this fit in with respect for the legislation which is binding in many Member States of the European Union, including Poland? How does this fit in with respect for the religious beliefs of many Europeans? That is why I appeal for reflection and for halting this decision."@en1
