Efter årelange forskningsprogrammer på dette område kunne man vel nu endelig forvente af Kommissionen, at man sætter nogle etiske standarder her i stedet for hele tiden at understrege, at det netop er det, forskningsprojekterne skal bidrage til, det vil sige, det bliver stadig tydeligere, at det kun er lyrik, at det, som det egentlig skal dreje sig om her, er at fremme denne risikoforskning og den etisk betænkelige forskning uden at der sættes nogen begrænsning.
We were promised years ago that there were at last going to be standards, and after years of research programmes in this field it could be expected that the Commission would finally establish ethical standards instead of routinely insisting that this is what the research projects are supposed to be contributing to. It is becoming increasingly clear that they are merely waxing lyrical, and their real concern is with making unrestricted progress in this risky and ethically questionable research.
