I have already explained my understanding of haploid parthenogenesis, but I'll do it again, just for you. It is objectionable to me because it is a form of experimenting with human life, but not experimenting with a human being; the Embryo (even a parthogenically conceived embryo) is a human being in its earliest age along its lifetime continuum. A thing formed via electrical stimulation of a haploid cell (a 23 chromosome cell) is not a human being.

It is objectionable to me because it is a form of experimenting with human life, but not experimenting with a human being By that definition, any research at all that involves human parts, organs, structures, genes, et cetera, is off-limits bcause it is experimenting with "human life", albeit not a "human being"...
