The decision follows a case brought by Greenpeace in Germany against Professor Oliver Brüstle (pictured) at the University of Bonn. He filed a patent with the German government in 1997 to convert embryonic stem cells into nerve cells to help patients with Parkinson's disease

They believe cutting edge research – and the huge investment behind it - could move to other countries such as the United States and China.

Who would have thought a bunch of euro-weenie judges could get a morality question right.

Scientists in Britain face being barred from developing life-saving treatments Their headline is misleading. Such treatments don't exist.

Professor Brüstle filed a patent with the German government in 1997 to convert embryonic stem cells into nerve cells to help patients with Parkinson’s disease.So how many Parkinson's patients have you helped, Professor?

Amazing, indeed!
Who’d have thought that a bunch of Euroweenie judges in Brussels would decide this case in favor of human life?
And the lawsuit was brought by Greenpeace!
Greenpeace is saving babies now, as well as whales and seals? I simply can’t imagine it!

It's the ADULT stem cells that have rewarded us with RESULTS, and yet the media continues to overlook this fact.

Historically, self stem cell treatments have worked much better than those from heterozygous embryos. Is there any particular reason this Parkinson's treatment must have embryonic cells?

What life-saving embryonic stem stell research? In spite of all the government and private money thrown at this form of human sacrifice, no useful treatment has yet emerged.

If I had to hazard a guess, I’d guess that Herr Brüstle doesn’t appear so smug today. The only manner the author might have used to make this article any more biased would have involved listing the judges’ addresses and strong hints of methods of eradication.

I see everybody's ignoring the troll. Good. Carry on.
Meanwhile, Yes, this is stunning: GreenPeace, prolifers, and a unanimous panel of 13 Euroweenie judges! Wow!
I'm sifting throug hmy neural nets to see where this could have come from. I remember back in about 1980 Jeremy Rifkin (agnotic Jew, environmentalist, futurist)w as arguing strenuously against genetic engineering, partly on the grounds that since (1) the USCC refuses to see that human life begins at the beginning, and (2) it is possible to patent genetically engineered life forms, therefore (3) it would become possible to patent human embryos, which would be (in his view and mine, too) seriously wrong.
I wonder if Rifkin's in on this?

European judges get it RIGHT! YAY! Very good comments on the thread. Embryonic stem cells have never yielded "life saving treatments" anyway.

Socialist, utilitarian European judges ruling in favor of a lawsuit brought by the animal first loving Greenpeace? All to stop experimentation on human embryos?
Truly a miracle from God, as far as I can see.

I honestly find myself looking at Greenpeace with another view.
Also, were they the only one to bring this suit? If so, good on them and shame on European Christians and Christianity there.

Damn that’s an arrogant lie!
There is no disease the cure for which requires the taking of a child’s life.
A pox on these Franken-Scientists.
