ESTOOLS - Advances with human embryonic stem cells - Human dignity and stem cell research in the EU
Human dignity and stem cell research in the EU
In February 2007 EuroNews, the channel of reference on EU-related news, came to the Centre for Stem Cell Biology to film for a broadcast about the EU’s reconfirmation of stem cell research funding. Peter Andrews leads from Sheffield the EU-funded €12m “ESTOOLS“ project involving 19 other European labs.
The broadcast went out in March and highlights the aims of such research ultimately to enable the development of cures for serious illnesses. Titled “Human dignity and stem cell research in the EU”, the programme also explains the range of ethical standpoints within Europe over the fate of surplus human embryonic stem cells created by IVF treatments - a theme of debate between experts and members of the European Parliament, causing divisions within all the political parties.
Peter Andrews was joined for the filming at the CSCB by Timothy Kirkhope, the Yorkshire & Humberside member in the EU Parliament and leader of the Conservatives there.
