Ærede debattører og gode borgere.
Har du tænkt på, hvor meget $ et levende foster er værd? Denne "industri" vil brede sig.
Altså de børn, som ellers var så elskede er nu blevet en guldgrube, ikke lige med samme hensigt som "før".
Så piger, snart er der penge i det når du får en abort. Det er tiden der gør det. Kold og kynisk.

Ja, sådan udvikler verden sig hele tiden. Snart kan det "betale" sig, at abortere.
Her er nogle forslag til overvejelse om hvordan det går, når man ikke tager livet alvorligt.
Tror du det er "midlertidigt" og at det nok skal "gå over af sig selv"?

Recommend to a friend
A group of MEPs, including Mrs Hiltrud Breyer MEP (Greens/EFA - DE), Mr Peter Liese MEP (EPP/ED - DE), Mr Adamos Adamou MEP (GUE/NGL - CY) and Ms Maria Martens MEP (EPP/ED - NL), have raised concerns about media reports of a trade of human egg cells from Romania to clinics in the UK.
In many European countries there are shortages of donated eggs and long waiting lists for fertility treatment.
The news report that young Romanian women are being paid to donate their eggs led the UK government to propose payments of up to "1000 pounds sterling" as an incentive to encourage egg donation.
Recently, the same group of MEPs called for clear guideslines from the Commission to ensure that the new 7th Framework Programme (FP7) for Research would not fund human cloning and embryo research.
Ban on trade of human cells and embryos?
On 10 April 2005, the European Parliament adopted a resolution for a ban on trade of human cells and embryos.
The resolution was adopted by an overwhelming majority of MEPs (307 votes in favor / 199 against and 25 abstentions) and it states that the human body shall not be a source of financial gain.
MEPs also called on the European Commission to assess national legislation on egg cell donation and the compensation system for the donation of organs and reproductive cells.
This resolution was put forward by Mrs Hiltrud Breyer, following the British media reports.
In a written question the MEPs stated that the proposed payments contravened European legislation on tissues and cells.
Even though the EP’s resolution is not legally binding,it raises the political profile of the issue.
EU legislation on human tissues
In response to the MEP’ s question, the Commissioner for Health and Consumer Protection, Markos Kyprianou, reviewed article 12 of the Directive establishing quality and safety requirements for human tissues and cells, which states:
“Member States shall endeavour to ensure voluntary and unpaid donations of tissues and cells. Donors may receive compensation, but this is strictly limited to making good the expense and inconveniences related to the donation. In that case, Member States define the conditions under which compensation should be granted.” (tror du på det?)
The EU law therefore allows compensation as long as it is limited to covering expenditure.
However, the Commissioner acknowledged that paying £1000 could not be considered as a simple ‘compensation for expenses and inconvenience’. (forstår du hvad jeg mener?)
He also assured MEPs that the Commission would monitor the implementation of this Directive in Member States.
However, other MEPs, such as Mrs Frédérique Ries (ALDE - BE) disagreed with the Resolution and do not want to block EU funding for human embryo research.
