SYDNEY, May 20, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Australian federal Health Minister Kay Patterson has ordered urgent study into providing information on products developed with human embryos.  “Some consumers might have concern knowing that pharmaceutical products contain embryonic materials or have been tested on them,” she said.  The proposal is the initiative of independent Senator Brian Harradine.  The Sydney Morning Herald reported last week that Harradine’s “proposal would ensure consumer information and advertising for pharmaceuticals would disclose whether the products had been tested, created or manufactured using embryo material.”  See LifeSite’s Stem Cell page:  https://lsn.ca/features/stemcellembryo/index.html
