Brown the Bioethicist

(Page 2 of 2)

But they could agree that the Prime Minister's "extravagant claims regarding the purported merits of human-non-human interspecies embryos are mistaken and misleading." The research that he would allow, they wrote, "would damage public confidence and support, to the detriment both of the cause of stem-cell science and, ultimately, of patients."

BROWN'S "MISTAKEN AND MISLEADING" impression is not surprising. British journalist Simon Carr pointed out that "the most fundamental fact about the debate is [the MPs] didn't actually know what a stem cell is." Another fundamental fact, disregarded in the debate is that stem cell research using chimeras is a colossal waste of money, resources, and, most importantly, of the lives of humans beings.

In clinging to their willful ignorance, Brown and his Labour Party are attempting to deny the reality of bioethics and bioscience. But as Aldous Huxley once observed, "Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored."
