” “Yesterday, the Health Commission of the Spanish Senate gave the go-ahead to the bill of law about human in vitro fertilisation. Now, the law will be submitted to the plenary meeting of the Upper House, then to Parliament again. Josep Maria Simón, ex president of "Christian Doctors of Catalonia", explains to Sir the "alarming" consequences of this law: "The law says it prohibits reproductive cloning but allows therapeutic cloning. But it turns out they are both forms of true cloning. Let’s think of a woman who in order to treat depression needs to clone her dead child. This reproduction would be legal because it would be considered therapeutic". In addition, "the law offers no natural alternative options", "gives no resources to research in infertility nor does it worry about single mothers", states Simón, who does not hesitate to call this plan "just a show". "The new law he thinks consecrates the great market of in vitro fertilisation clinics (5,000 euros for one in vitro fertilisation course, and it takes lots of courses to have a baby). Clinics are not interested in research but in profit and prestige. Even if he specifies there certainly may be people in good faith who think they are doing something good for mankind". ” “
