The passing of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill is a propaganda exercise undertaken by the worst, propaganda-driven regime in our history. All the 'research' that it pretends to authorise is taking place already, some in our country. It is not at the forefront of scientific endeavour. Rather, so well understood and established are its techniques and objects of enquiry, it is the development of therapeutic availability that is being hindered by widespread cultural and legal prohibition, and lesser hindrances expressed through religious and other ethical institutions and viewpoints.
The objective in this matter is to establish, in a first world advanced capitalist country, state authorisation and public acceptance of a 'grey area' of submerged, half-hidden and wholly unacceptable behaviour by universities, the health industries, funding (both tax- paid funding and private funding),some parts of some governments, and their individual actors in this.
Once the United Kingdom has authorised the use of humans and part humans with other animals to provide genetic material for therapeutic use, destroying the creatures deliberately brought into life for no other purpose than to serve others in the process, then the way is open, such practices justified, for anywhere in the world and any organisation to do the same. It can all come in from the cold.
The deliberate bundling of the measures within the Bill, which will have also enabling powers for activities as yet unspecified for later implementation by administrative act, underlines the true purpose of the Bill as that of cultural and ethical shift - a moral regime change under guise of seeking and destroying the causes of mass suffering. Saviour siblings - such evocative and misleading words; what is under way is the provision of genetic spare material designed for specific recipients, inter- as well as intra-generational, at all and any cost, including the abandonment of attributing full humanity to the providers. The increased life span of the recipients will be purchased with the attenuation of the life span of the helpless donors.
The grounds of argument for the Bill will be as shifting sands, moving from medical, to political, to cultural, to ethical as fast as opponents of this monstrosity build reasoned refutation of any of its diverse parts. There can be only one effective response: vote it down.
Vote it down in its entirety - no deals, no adjustment, no conscience voting where it doesn't matter and Party discipline acceptance when it does. No dissection can separate out any good, or provide an excuse for letting it through. Our representatives must sink their differences and unite. Not against the current government but for our human society.

I think you know my view on this - and I'm not a Catholic: this is part of the developing death culture. Life is becoming cheap here in the West, at the same time as it is becoming more precious in the East.
I cannot imagine what my feelings might have been had my parents said to me that I had been brought into the world as a genetic material source for an older sibling. And that would be a least worse case, when what is really going on is the provision of genetic material for those able to command its production.
Perhaps there will be a Dorian portrait in a moral attic for people whose imperative is their own survival and power at any price.
Now they have abolished fathers.
I am not shocked at how Labour have dismantled civilised society, just at how quickly they have done it, with a club hammer, and with the scorched earth policies of vengeful tyrants.
I am shocked, WW, and you are right that the speed (and the determination and accuracy of attack)takes aback too. If they are doing this to the society and culture it doesn't look good for political arrangements.
As the population won't support them then I fear the population is being changed. I hope Crewe and Nantwich's voters go out and vote, every last one of them. Except the only message Brown will take is to hurry up with the replacement of the democratic system.
