Human babies 'grown in lab' - ("brave new world" procedures; "farming" embryos?)

This is awful. We are not to play God and create human beings.

They won't even have souls because they will be created by man, not by God.

Liberals probably just want to clone humans and then slaughter them for their organs.

Great news! I've got everything set up in my Organ Harvesting Lab and I'm ready to go. I knew my Mail Order Medical Degree would come in handy one day! I was just waiting for this final breakthrough. /sarcasm

I hate this stuff. :(

There is something missing in this article: The procedure, called haploidy, wherein half the chromosomes are separated and discarded, preparing the cell for fertilization.

If this does not occur, these cells could only grow into clones of the donor women.

It's really sick that people get together and create human beings. God created Adam and Eve...why is it that married couples think that MAN AND WOMAN can create what GOD should create. These offspring must have no souls, as they are created by man and woman, not by God!

scientists admitted they could use the technique to 'farm' embryos for their research.

Hmmmmmmm .... I wonder if the admitted it 'sheepishly'? This story set off the BS detector here in my little computer room sanctuary. For example, does 'Prof Antonin Bukovsky' sound like a real professor? And, does 'pro-life campaigner Matthew O'Gorman' sound like a real name? My BS detector says no.

This is very worrisome to me.
Next cloned sperm.
Next clone dozens of exact embryos.
Separate the embryos into control groups. Conduct experiments, in the name of science, between the control groups of cloned embryos. You know this is going to happen. Then they will need more science, so they will let the embryos grow a little older, then a little more old. Many in the medical field feel that abortions just prior to full term are acceptable. In my lifetime I would not be surprised to see cloned infants used for experiments and then murdered at 9 months gestation. They will probably move the experiments to poor countries where they can rent a uterus cheap. This is more like science fiction than science to me.

"If this does not occur, these cells could only grow into clones of the donor women."

No! No! A thousand times, No! No cloning of Liberal Women! ;)

Sick and wrong. I wonder how big God's stash of lightning bolts is, and at what point in time He's going to start throwing them.

[BipolarBob]

"and at what point in time He's going to start throwing them.

Soon, Luna, soon. It can't just keep going on. It is nearly like the time of Noah now.

Prof. Antonin Bukovsky is in the Dept Of Ob/Gyn at Univ. of Tennessee at Knoxville. Look it up...or if you must, annoy him by calling (865)544-8969 to confirm.

No, Liberals want to manufacture humans to ensure a large enough voter base to regain power.

[tiamat]

I don't know aabout the soul part, but I agree.

HUGE areas for commiting attrocities with clones.

[wk4bush2004]

I know it sounds farfetched, but think about the possibilities with clones---(ex: Star Wars Episode II)---if the technology was mastered, a cloned army could be created.

[tiamat]

Sure.

And just THINK how expendable they'd be...

::::shudder:::

[tiamat]

Ever see "Bladerunner"?

[wk4bush2004]

No, I'm afraid not.
