Women in are to be offered half-price IVF treatment in exchange for donating some of their eggs for embryonic stem cell research. Researchers in Durham and Newcastle have been given permission by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) to go ahead with the scheme, which will take a year to set up. The eggs will be used to create cloned embryos from which stem cells will be extracted, thereby killing them. Paul Danon of SPUC described the scheme as "the commercialisation of human life for research." He said: "Here we have money changing hands in a matter of human reproduction. This must surely degrade the young lives that will be created." [The Scotsman, 28 July]
