lpv:translated text	". I was amazed when reading the text of this resolution. I should first of all like to say that I shall vote for it, but I have a few comments: Paragraph B: ‘whereas cloning processes show low rates of survival for transferred embryos and cloned animals, with many cloned animals dying in the early stages of life …’ What would the future for humanity be if man took the same remarkable degree of care and if we stopped freezing human embryos? Paragraph C: ‘… mortality and morbidity levels in cloned animals are higher than in sexually produced animals and late pregnancy losses and disorders are likely to affect the welfare of surrogate mothers’. What would the future for humanity be if the whole of society gave such support to mothers of families as we give to the protection of surrogate animal mothers? Paragraph D: ‘... given current levels of suffering and health problems of surrogate dams and cloned animals, the European Group on Ethics … questions whether cloning animals ... is ethically justified ...’ What would the future for humanity be if this Group took into consideration the suffering of women who become surrogate mothers in order to improve their financial situation or the stress suffered by women following repeated unsuccessful artificial fertilisation attempts or consistently forbade the use of human embryos for research purposes because it is morally impermissible. Lucky animals, because this resolution also shows that they are in some cases better protected than man."@en1
