Organisations including the British Heart Foundation and Cancer Research UK said that the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill could "greatly increase our understanding of serious medical conditions affecting millions of people".

However, opponents have accused ministers of trampling over the dignity of human life by creating "monster" cells.

Should we allow the creation of hybrid embryos? Do we owe it to patients and their families to investigate all possible treatments for serious medical conditions?

Does the creation of hybrid embryos blur the line between humans and other species? Is it always wrong to tamper with human embryos?

And should MPs be allowed a free vote on the issue? Should religion be kept out of politics?
