When this was being passed through the Lords it's what one of the members said, that it was a form of mutilation and most of the Lords agreed upon this as did many members of parliament.
Unfortunately Robert Winston was on a roll at the time with TV shows on the BBC, DVDs and Books and didn't want to tarnish his position as Lord - he spoke against it, protest groups used him as their focal point and this led it into the European court.
