Full story HERE.

What do forum members think about this?

Here are the three main points the MP's will vote on :

• Preventing fertility clinics from refusing treatment to single women and lesbians - under current legislation clinics must take account of the welfare of the unborn child including "the need for a father". This will be replaced by the "need for supportive parenting".
• Creating a child with the correct tissue match to save a sick brother or sister.
• Creating so-called hybrid animal/human embryos to aid stem cell research.

I'm all for point 1, however am unsure on the morality of 2 or 3.

What do you lot think?

I've never given Embryo technology much thought however I do think that MP's should get a FREE vote, making someone follow the party line because of the whip on something that they may have very personal views on is IMHO wrong.

So well done Gordon.

Well done Gordon??? I don't think so....

But whether or not the rebels manage to alter any of the proposals, all Labour MPs will then be ordered to support the Bill in the final vote at the end of the third reading.

Mr Brown made it clear that any minister voting against the Bill at that stage would be expected to resign.

Ministers and MPs with the most serious concerns might be allowed to apply to the Chief Whip for special permission to abstain from the final vote, but only if the passage of the Bill is not threatened.

Hardly a 'free' vote is it?

WOW, I never read the full article until your post.

Just goes to show, you should read all the small print and not just rely on the headlines.
