The fact they want to keep on destroying embryos when they apparantly don’t have to speaks volumes.
Keep in mind a couple of things.
1. Thousands of embryos are destroyed in the US alone every day. Fertility clinics are the biggest destroyer, not scientists.
2. Many embryos were destroyed in this research, and will continue to be destroyed, even though the actual process will not use embryos, when it is used.
3. This research, while it is a good thing, is entirely dependent on embryonic stem cells and destruction of embryos, without it, this process would not exist. Without continued destruction of embryos, it will not progress.
This issue is not as black and white as everyone thinks it is. Embryo destruction is so common in this country that most people don’t even realize it happens, yet there is very little being done to regulate the industry. Why?
The biggest question for me is whether this process can in fact be compatible with a pro life outlook, because it was created by and from ESC destruction. I haven’t decided, but people should look at these issues carefully before making accusations of others and their views.
