At this point, there's no way this "genie is going to be put back into the bottle".
No dependecy on fertility clinics for human embryos, no "abortions", no "moral interference", and no funding constituancies (NIH) to appease.
Let's move forward in the research that benefits the human condition.
The implications of the findings are indeed momentous.

As an aside, scientists cause concern because they deal with some things that are not easily understood. From my dealings with them, even one of my friends that worked on the Manhatten Project, they are in favor of life.
Their efforts are to make it better.
I have to say that these people are curious but not dangerous. Those that use their findings inappropriately are the ones to beware of.

I agree DTS, my graduate training is in research and most everybody I met was concerned with improving the human condition...still the twin evils of greed and arrogance exist everywhere so we just have to be careful. Again, the science is wonderful, the devil (if there was one) is in the application.
