While human embryonic stem cells in medical research, the EU 25 Member States into a stance, attitude instead of contradictory two factions, both strongly request the full support of strong demand, is also prohibited, but the European Parliament of 24 October in Brussels the EU Council of Ministers of science and technology will eventually reached an agreement on a compromise plan — namely allowing human embryonic stem cell research, but may not use the EU research funding is used to extract from human embryonic stem cells.
Before the European Parliament to a slight majority investment of 50 million euro of EU funding for human embryonic stem cell research. Germany, Italy and Luxembourg and other countries strongly opposed to the European Parliament of this decision, Germany's Federal Ministry of education and research Minister million stated: "the EU's research funding should not be used in the encouraging kill embryos. "Germany has only allowed scientists use on 1 January 2002 imported from abroad before human embryonic stem cell research, 2001, Germany's Parliament has passed a resolution that does not allow hospital gets human embryos to extract stem cells.
In 24 of the EU Council of Ministers, to oppose human embryonic stem cell research in the State may reject the EU 2007-2013 research budget to force support human embryonic stem cell research in the country to make concessions. The final compromise decision means that the EU agreed in principle on human embryonic stem cell research, but cannot use EU funds for scientific research.
The EU Council's decision to support human embryonic stem cell research by some scientists is a big blow. United Kingdom, the famous scientists, suffering from motor neuron diseases before Hawking United Kingdom media said: "the EU should learn United States President George w. Bush. ”
United States President George w. Bush recently just veto, vetoed the Bill on embryonic stem cell research. EU-Poland, Austria, Slovakia, Latvia and Malta, and other 5 countries to "moral and ethical reasons" as an excuse, it is proposed that the prohibition on EU territory to embryonic stem cells provide financial assistance, and the United Kingdom, France and Spain and other countries, it expressed its support for embryonic stem cell research work, to do this, on 24 July the European Commission convened the meeting very compelling.
Stephen Hawking is deliberately chosen will make a statement before the European part of the country and criticized United States tried to ban human embryonic stem cell research, said that the EU cannot step United States footsteps, prevent embryonic stem cell research, for embryonic stem cell research is the treatment of Parkinson's syndrome and other human diseases. Stephen Hawking in a statement said that human embryonic stem cell research has the potential to address many incurable disease treatments revolutionized. Stephen Hawking, human embryonic stem cell research on development for the treatment of motor nerve disease and Parkinson's disease, etc. In his view, the prohibition of human embryonic stem cell research as opposed to the use of the deceased donor organ. Stephen Hawking's statement said: "I strongly oppose any cancellation of the EU on embryonic stem cell research funding, Europe should not be followed by a Bush walk. ”
Embryonic stem cells is called the "universal cell" that scientists are convinced that they can be differentiated into various body cells, which makes it possible to treat diabetes, Alzheimer 's, Parkinson's and other difficult disease to modern medicine.
The European Commission on 24 may reach a compromise, but expressed continued support for embryonic stem cell research, but also on the funding of embryonic stem cell research work has strict rules. To human cloning or modified for the purpose of the human genome, and research work in the destruction of human embryos for research, will not be able to get EU funding. In addition, stem cell research projects must be approved by the independent expert.
United Kingdom Minister Sheng Boli said the United States to oppose embryonic stem cell research led to scientists in the United Kingdom and the United States to seek funding in Europe to carry out the treatment of degenerative diseases. United States Government's attitude is very negative effects, but the EU decision is an important symbolic value, which indicates that the European Union in this issue has been at the front. Embryonic stem cell research will provide for the treatment of EU public advantage, prevent patients benefit from science and unacceptable.
United Kingdom Royal Society reach agreement on the European Union was pleased, but on introducing new restrictions expressed disappointment that this will pass extraction from human embryonic stem cells to develop artificial propagation, and a series of research work.
