Sorry about the last quote, but unfortunately, yes, when we donate cells at the moment, they have to be allowed to form a human Embryo before we can get anything usefull out of it. A human Embryo contains stem cells which after a time develope into organs like the brain or liver. That is why it is so controversial. Should we be allowed to grow a new life ie Embryo just to harvest it for our own uses? I suppose it depends on when you believe life starts.............
What is it they use bovine embryos for? I thought they used them to help cultivate human tissue with human cells.
Not arguing, but I'm terribly uninformed. I putting together bits of news stories...
