Now, an embryo may seem like some scientific or laboratory term, but, in fact, the embryo contains the unique information that defines a person.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Now an embryo may seem like some scientific or laboratory term, but in fact the embryo contains the unique information that defines a person. All you add is food and climate control, and some time, and the embryo becomes you or me.
From the beginning, each human embryo has its own unique genetic identity.
Biology is far from understanding exactly how a single cell develops into a baby, but research suggests that human development can ultimately be explained in terms of biochemistry and molecular biology. Most scientists would make a similar statement about evolution.
Patients' lives are more important than embryos. I do want to avoid the use of embryos if possible.
Each year thousands of embryos, no bigger than the head of a pin, are created in the process of in vitro fertilization, with the support of Congress, by the way.
People have freaked out when I tell them that my dragons are scientifically based... what else can you call a genetically engineered life form?
We haven't been able yet to determine in terms of genes what makes a human being a human and not another mammal.
When I saw the embryo, I suddenly realized there was such a small difference between it and my daughters. I thought, we can't keep destroying embryos for our research. There must be another way.
Biology is the science. Evolution is the concept that makes biology unique.
Like the 'test tube babies' born of in vitro fertilization, cloned children need not be identifiable, much less freaks or outcasts.
