It wasn't showing off knowledge, since all of the info was from a Google search at the time of posting - just the abundance of information available from a Google search.

The ethics are - or should be - inseparable from the science and should take precedence over any research and application. Do you want unethical scientists running around?

The fact of the necessity of destruction of one human's right not to be killed (or 400,000 humans' if all the frozen human embryos are used), for the hypothetical possibility of benefit to another person or persons is absolutely unethical. I don't know of any precedent for the approval of such research or application of research, do you?

What is going to happen to the embryos? Will they stay frozen for eternity? I don't get it. What should happen to them?

I think new precedents are set in medicine all the time. What about the first time an organ was used on someone else? What about the first time a vacine was used? Why can't todays doctors and scientists set precedent?
