Brussels, 27/11/2001 (Agence Europe) - Several political groups in the European Parliament reacted to the announcements by the American company of the first cloning on a human embryo. For Peter Liese (CDU) this announcement underlines the importance of the vote by the Parliament, on Thursday, on the report by Mr Fiori concerning the conclusions by the temporary committee on human genetics. Noting that after the House of Representatives, it is the American Senate who must rule in favour of a ban on the cloning of human embryos. Mr Liese considers it vital that the EP sends a positive signal to the United States Congress. Raising a putsch against creation and against nature which must absolutely be stopped, Ingo Friedrich (CSU) calls for an international convention banning cloning and protecting the human genome. The Belgian Green Paul Lannoye and the French Didier Rod also assert that in no way and under no pretext whatsoever, must we accept human cloning, which is an open door to eugenics. While asserting her opposition towards human cloning for reproduction, Elena Paciotti (Democratici di Sinstra) invites the Parliament to confirm, on Thursday, the balanced and reasonable positions that it adopted during the vote on the Caudron report concerning the 6th FPRD, by speaking against reproductive cloning and the creation of embryos for research, without for as much preventing the use of spare embryos under 14 days.
