This is an issue of secondary importance, although, with the Commissioner having stated last night that, throughout the entire development phase of the programme, the Commission would accept the word ‘use’ and not the word ‘extraction’ – which, in practice, means that it will not fund any research into the destruction of embryos – I feel that this is a proposal that deserves to be endorsed.
Il s’agit toutefois d’une question d’importance secondaire, le commissaire ayant déclaré la nuit dernière que tout au long de la phase de développement du programme, la Commission accepterait le mot «utilisation» au lieu du mot «extraction» - ce qui signifie en pratique qu’elle ne financera aucune recherche qui détruit des embryons.
