Stem cell research does not destroy life, says college

UNIVERSITY College Cork has wholly denied allegations from a pro-life group that it is intent on “destroying human life”.

The Pro-Life Campaign, which aims to defend human life at all stages from conception to natural death, maintains embryonic stem cell research involves the destruction of human life at its earliest stage of development. According to the campaigners, the research cannot, and can never, be justified.

Pro-Life insists that the Irish people, not University College Cork, should decide on the issue.
