PR: Ground Breaking Report on the Future of Humanity
26.01.2006
The Irish Commission on Assisted Human Reproduction, deals with the treatment of Human Life at its earliest stages and was to make recommendations to the Government in regard to issues such as IVF and research on human embryos.
In May 2005 the CAHR presented their report to the Minister for Health and Children, Mary Harney. The report gave the Minister forty recommendations for regulation in the area of Assisted Human Reproduction and stem cell research. The majority of the recommendations favoured the deliberate destruction of the child embryo. In fact, if implemented the CAHR recommendations would make Ireland one of the most liberal jurisdictions in the world with regard to the destruction of early human life.
The CAHR choose to ignore the pro life ethos of the Irish people and the view of the majority of the submissions it received, which favoured full legal protection for the human embryo.
Youth Defence’s new report, launched earlier this month, and entitled No Exceptions: Why Human Life Deserves our Respect comes then at a critical time. It explains with great clarity matters which had remained obscured because of the scientific complexity involved. The report gives an excellent guide to the ethical solutions which must be followed in dealing with early human life and in making and in making an uncompromising stand against the horrors of embryo and stem cell research. It also points to the ethical alternatives available, not just to embryo research but to IVF which causes tiny human beings to be frozen and/or discarded throughout the world each year.
The report also contains a very useful lobbying guide which should be followed in the coming weeks.
This report deals with the future of humanity. We can no longer be inclined to leave that to scientists and politicians, and the report equips all of us with the invaluable knowledge required to make a decisice stand against the abuses carried out on human life. It comes highly commended.
