The use of human embryos for research on embryonic stem (ES) cells is currently high on the ethical and political agenda in many countries. Human embryonic stem cells (hES cells) are currently discussed not only by the biologists by whom they were discovered but also by the medical profession, media, ethicists, governments and politicians. There are several reasons for this. On the one hand, these ‘super cells’ have a major clinical potential in tissue repair, with their proponents believing that they represent the future relief or cure of a wide range of common disabilities; replacement of defective cells in a patient by transplantation of hES  cell-derived equivalents would restore normal function. On the other hand, the use of hES cells is highly polemical because they are derived from human pre-implantation embryos.

“Stem cells” are primitive cells with the capacity to divide and give rise to more identical stem cells or to specialize and form specific cells of somatic tissues. Broadly speaking, two types of stem cell can be distinguished: embryonic stem (ES) cells which can only be derived from pre-implantation embryos and have a proven ability to form cells of all tissues of the adult organism (termed “pluripotent”), and “adult” stem cells, which are found in a variety of tissues in the fetus and after birth and are, under normal conditions, more specialized (“multipotent”) with an important function in tissue replacement and repair.

Efecto acogida (“hospitality effect”) is an initiative led by several Catholic groups with the goal of creating citizen awareness about the situation of the refugees and migrants, and that calls, in a globalizing world where the capitals and technologies are transnational, to “globalize freedom, Human Rights and social justice”.

In a release, this collective reminds us that migrant movements are often motivated by “wars, natural disasters, hunger, violence and terrorism”, and also that displaced people are currently trapped in situations of extreme precariousness because of the indifference of Europe, crowding at the gates of the continent, and “surviving and dying before our eyes”. 

Also, they call to pressure Governments to act and face the gravity of the situation and list the measures that they urge them to take; among them are giving urgent attention to refugees, granting their rights, free circulation of people, and the establishment of decent conditions as well as ideas for improving the situations of the countries of origin (such as the elimination of debt or the creation of a new economic world order based on dialogue and solidarity between towns) to prevent those people from having to flee. Measures intended, ultimately, to overcome the “globalization of indifference”.
