France says no to embryonic research
Paris, 10.
A positive turnaround in France on a controversial draft law on bioethics. The amendment on the possibility of regulated research on embryonic stem cells, supported by left-wing parties and opposed by the government was rejected yesterday by the Senate, during a second reading.
During a preliminary examination held in committee on Monday, the discussion focused on article 23 of the proposal: the senators had decided to modify the text by taking out the ban on research thereby allowing the possibility of the principal of regulated research to pass. Nonetheless, on Thursday at the end of a particularly tense public hearing, the Assembly of Palais Luxembourg decided to reject the change to the law approved by the commission and to adopt the amendment presented by Jean-Claude Gaudin, President of the UMP (Union for a Popular Movement), which re-establishes the principle of a ban with exceptions, which is the line espoused by the Executive as well as the Archbishop of Paris and President of the French Episcopal Conference, Cardinal Andre’ Vingt-Trois. The vote sanctions the definitive text of the law.
