The Catholic Church speaks:
In a recent speech Pope Francis lamented a throw away culture that is increasingly operative in medicine and science. One can hardly conceive of a more clear manifestation of this throw away culture than PNTs deliberate killing and discarding of one human being to immediately secure the health of another.
Why do all the other Churches remain silent?

Maternal spindle transfer involves the transfer of maternal DNA from an unfertilized egg to an unfertilized donor egg.
It would not require the death of an embryo when used therapeutically but undoubtedly would result in discarded embryos in the experimental phases.
Utilitarian scientists pursue both routes, looking for whichever works best, or first. Fame, wealth, and prizes to the winner of the race.
