In all future trials, ACT will also be using its patented "embryo-safe" technique, which allows them to biopsy a single cell from an embryo -- similar to what's done in pre-implantation genetic diagnosis during the IVF process -- and then replicate that cell ad infinitum. Lanza, whose accent renders him unequivocally Bostonian, was all but obligated to put it this way: "If you consider that cell to be one Red Sox fan, we can actually, from there, create enough to fill all of Fenway Park."

So, what happened to that first embryo? Did it die? Is it still frozen somewhere? Who wants to implant an embryo that has had a chunk taken out of it? Isn’t that embryo a human sacrifice, in a sense? Does it help, morally, that it was just one embryo, instead of scores of them?

I’m still not comfortable with this.

Years ago, right here on Free Republic, I called out embryonic stem cell research as “high tech cannibalism”. When these processes become commonplace, it’s going to be a scary world, but most people won’t notice. Would you rather be blind or eat a baby and see? Sounds like Mayan folklore, but this and other abonimations like chimera’s are becoming real before our eyes.
