BY LifeSiteNews.com MADRID, November 2, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) - On Friday, October 29th, the socialist Spanish government brought into effect a law that will allow researchers to use human embryos for experiments without restrictions. The law, passed by the previous government, was never put into effect and the new regime favours embryonic stem cell research without restrictions. The Zapatero government came to power last spring when the Madrid subway came under attack from Muslim terrorists. Since then the Zapatero administration has worked to implement the full anti-life, anti-family agenda which interestingly will likely further anger Spain’s large Muslim population. Homosexual ‘marriage,’ abortion and stem cell research have featured prominently in the socialists’ programme since the election. The institution of embryonic stem cell research will not likely be strongly opposed by the Catholic leadership of Spain. In July 2003, the Spanish Bishops’ Conference released a statement that said embryonic human beings could be used for destructive experiments ‘under strict controls.’  Previous Lifesite coverage:  Spanish Bishops Sanction Use of Embryo Cells from Frozen Embryos for Research http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2003/jul/03073005.html   Spanish Central Government Objects to New Emrbyo Research Facility http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2004/feb/04021605.html   ph http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/spanish-socialists-put-embryo-research-law-into-effect/
