For a guy who is supposed to be the smartest guy in the room it's stunning he doesn't see where this leads. Welcome to a brave new world where we will create zygotes for the production of medical cures and once that is the norm why not take the next step and then manipulate genetic codes so we get the workers/drones we want.
Now, IF your 25 year old relative dies, would you approve an autopsy even though many of the cells are still living?
There is a world of difference between embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells. I don't see how harvesting adult stem cells, from cord blood for example, diminishes the special significance we need to give to life. A zygote has the potential to grow into a human being and we shouldn't tamper with this potentiality.
I am talking about your dead 25 year old relative. Would you let them harvest organs or not?
How is that different than a dead human just hours old after conception?
An unimplanted zygote is dead. It is not going anyplace.
Wm, there is a HUGE difference between an implanted zygote and an unimplanted zygote. One has a future and the future for the other has stopped as of the moment in time that the implantation did not occur. It’s life is over.
How is donating that organ different than donating a kidney for the dead 25 year old?
