The final motion is a suicidal split over ethics

Article Abstract:

An overview of the infighting that has struck the House of Commons Science and Technology Committee as a result of its recently published report on human reproductive technologies and the law. Following 18 months of evidence-taking by the committee, a report was produced to which five members of the committee took extreme exception, arguing that the report as issued made no effort to address their concerns or the concerns of the public.
