Scientists used stem cells from a mouse to create a mouse embryo, without sperm or egg. It had a brain and beating heart but only lived 8 days.
"Scientists believe that through this experiment it would be easier for doctors to identify why some pregnancies fail at an earlier stage."
This really bugs me. Not only are they "playing God" but it's so weird how the majority find abortion acceptable and then there is this, where they're trying to figure out why some pregnancies fail. Seems inconsistent. I also can't help but wonder (conspiracy theorist in me, I guess) if this is working toward a future where the only babies allowed to be born are those that are created via lab. Gives a whole new meaning to test tube babies, eh?
Thoughts?
