I sincerely hope medical science finds a way to grow replacement organs from stem cells out of the patient's own body. But unless the American people soon realize the goals and methodologies which some scientists are now planning and implimenting, the process will be running full bore to conceive and exploit individual human embryos (and very possibly fetuses not destined to be life supoorted to birth; I'm writing a novel on that, right now). That's cannibalism.
