So technically, we are killing a person by ripping out the parts of the embryo that keep it alive. How can we justify that? We're creating a life, and then killing it. Yes, cloning human embryos is definitely a scientific breakthrough. But we should think twice before going any further with this discovery -- or we might end up going so far that we can't ever turn back. |
