Høie: – Can change stance
Health Minister Bent Høie ( H) and Biotechnology Council leader Kristin Halvorsen received Friday a presentation of youth views on biotechnology.
When asked Høie fear further liberalization when the youngsters are old enough to control society, he replied:
– It may well be, or they may change position after a while.
Surprised figures
