Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
Once again, the Tribune has come out against human embryonic cloning for research.
Your rationale for drawing a line is specious at best.
Most in the medical profession define implantation as the start of life.
The reason for this is obvious.
My skin cells can also be cloned. Does that mean that they are to be regarded as nascent life?
Most people would consider such a thought ludicrous. Yet by placing a skin cell in an egg and implanting it in a womb, it could begin to develop.
It is no further away from life than an embryo.
Opponents of embryonic cloning for research cannot have it both ways. If adult cells are fair game for experimentation, then so are embryos.
