Note from YS:
Archena Socialist Youth (JS Archena) stated that to promote progress of science and medicine as a means to heal hundreds of thousands of people is to go through life, and so proud that they have shown has been fantastic legislation initiated by a Socialist government that has allowed the birth of Javier Mariscal small doors, and the healing of his brother Andrew, and has brought hope to hundreds of families, which until now were doomed to live with terrible diseases, which in many cases were a real death sentence.
In this regard, the Secretary General of Archena JS, Michael Ruiz, recalled that the PP voted against the bill to allow develop the technology that has facilitated the birth of Javier Andrés and healing, and claimed not to understand " the arguments of those who oppose and criticize these techniques, and justify saying that they do so because pro-life "and regretted the position of especially the attitude of the leaders of the PP," which once again have fallen ago, and has refused to give his support to legislation that aims only to give hope of cure or improved quality of life for thousands of people. "
To JS Archena, defend life is to work for people with diseases that are now incurable or difficult to cure to make use of advances in science, technology and medicine to improve their situation or even a complete cure , "an idea that apparently does not agree with the PP, which once again has teamed up with ultra-conservative sectors of society to hinder any progress as mean, even at the expense of the lives of thousands of citizens."
In addition, Mireia Ruiz has been very critical of statements made yesterday by the spokesman for the Episcopal Conference, Juan Antonio Martinez Camino, whom he described as "horrendous practice," the process that has allowed to cure and save the life of Javier, and has asked "How can pretend to be an advocate of life an institution that depreciates the use of scientific and technical advances that allow the removal of diseases that cause enormous, and in many cases condemned to an early death for thousands of people just in our country. "
"Andrew, despite the efforts of their parents, could not lead a normal life.
He was forced to constantly visit the hospital to receive a weekly transfusion, and their life expectancy was 25 years.
What this family has lived a true and wonderful miracle that has given him the opportunity to enjoy a long life, and quality, and has brought hope to thousands of homes in our country, "said the Secretary General JS Archena.
"What's really horrible to condemn any human being to live with a death sentence on their backs, when it is possible to use techniques which help you live a full and normal.
What is really appalling is to put the life of an embryo to a human being born. "
Finally, Mireia Ruiz said that "young socialists can not and we want to understand this position, but not surprising, because those who claim to defend life while branded as horrible a technique to heal millions of human beings the world, deny the effectiveness of condoms in preventing the spread of AIDS, and look the other way when we know the appalling numbers of children born infected with the disease in Africa.
