Spain Approves Destructive Research on Embryonic Humans
MADRID, July 29, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Spain has legalized destructive research on embryonic humans. Reuters reported last week that the predominantly Catholic country has allowed for human embryos, conceived for fertility treatments and 'left over', to be used for destructive experimentation with the consent of the embryonic child's parents.
Health Minister Ana Pastor praised the legislation saying, "it gives couples the final word on the fate of the embryos that they currently have frozen, and it's an ethical solution because it doesn't permit the manipulation of embryos and, above all, it prevents people making profit from the use of stem cells."
