The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill began its second reading debate in the House of Lords on MONDAY, NOVEMBER 19.

The bill allows for the creation of human/animal hybrid embryos by transferring human DNA to animal eggs, by fertilising animal eggs with human sperm and by adding animal genes to human embryos.

Pro-abortion MP’s want to add amendments to the bill which will make it legal to have an abortion without two doctors’ signatures, as at present, for nurses and midwives to perform abortions and for abortions to be carried out on unlicensed premises – but please note these amendments about abortion have not been added yet.

The battle over this bill is likely to be the biggest battle over life issues in 40 years.

It is vital to contact members of the House of Lords to ask them to vote against the bill. Point out your objections to the creation of hybrid embryos.
