EU Countries Must Use Embryos Instead of Animals for Testing: Proposed Directive

BRUSSELS, March 24, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A proposed new directive from the European Commission (EC) will drastically restrict the use of animals in laboratory testing, and certain toxicology tests on animals will be permitted only after alternative methods, including research on tissue taken from human embryos, has proved fruitless, reports the Catholic Herald.

In its coverage of the issue, the Herald quotes a report accompanying the EC directive that says, "The establishment of human embryonic stem cells in 1998 raised hopes in many research areas, including the development of alternatives to animal experiments." The report says that human embryonic research is a "powerful alternative to animal tests."

The directive instructs member states to adopt "the 3Rs principles: Replacement, Reduction and Refinement" to animal testing. If the directive is approved by MEPs next month it will be binding on all 27 EU member states.
