This is a genuine question rather than a veiled or not so veiled attack on those with religious views.

Whilst I can understand (even if I don't agree with the views of those that are anti abortion), I can not quite understand why the church (parts of Catholic anyway), are so concerned about this bill. My very scanty knowledge by listening to Prof Blakemore indicates that this method will use more adult cells rather than growing new cells which some fear is new life and therefore harming a human, playing at god.

So apart from wanting any new scientific venture to be rigorously examined, what is the real concern about this approach to medical research?

This is what I struggle with

Roman Catholics and the virgin Mary

Of course the research should continue if it is for genuine reasons, however if after 20 years people try to misuse I hope we should be able to tackle it.
