The baroness is only confusing the issue

BARONESS Warnock recently addressed the Conference on Assisted Human Reproduction at Dublin Castle.

In the debate on human reproduction ethics, she doubted the relevance of human rights, and denied the role of religion. Baroness Warnock is given credit for her courage in changing some of her views.

She now regrets, for instance, the deception implied in the findings of her UK commission, and the Act based on those findings (the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority Act, 1990).
