Det er et påskud for at forhindre, at stamcelleforskning finansieres med europæiske midler, selv om der er mange lande, som tillader det, for store dele af forskermiljøet og det øvrige samfund mener, at man med stamcelleforskning vil kunne gøre store fremskridt i bekæmpelsen af meget alvorlige sygdomme, der i dag ødelægger os.
It is a form of subterfuge aimed at hindering the European funding of research with stem cells, when there are many countries which allow it, because there are significant sectors of the scientific community and of the social community in general which believe that researching with stem cells can lead to great progress in the fight against the extremely serious diseases which devastate us today.
