Sir Leszek Borysiewicz says Church is wrong on hybrid embryo Bill
The most senior Roman Catholic scientist in Britain has attacked his Church’s opposition to proposed laws that will allow the creation of human-animal embryos for research.
Sir Leszek Borysiewicz made a passionate defence of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill and the science that it will make possible.
He said that the Church was wrong to conduct its campaign in emotive language that misrepresented the nature and purpose of the controversial research.
