Just when you thought that it couldn’t possibly get any worse (we already have skyhigh abortion rates, moves to make abortion even easier, all the evidence against late abortion is being ignored, mass destruction of human embryos, and the prospect of animal-human hyrbids being created), the Sunday Telegraph is reporting that the Government will attempt this week to rush an amendment through Parliament to allow tissue to be taken from the infirm, without consent.

Not only is this an appalling abuse of the basic principle of consent, but it is being rushed through by the Government in a completely underhand way. The amendment has been inserted into the Bill without any debate, and Labour MPs will be forced to vote in support of this on a three line Government whip.
