This is a classic debate — but I think it's mixing two very different ethical questions. * Should any two people be able to reproduce using their own genes? Should a homosexual couple, or an individual with a gamete disorder have that option? * Is it worth mouse suffering? More broadly, is any medical research worth animal suffering? It is routine. Is there a difference between animals suffering at the hands of humans vs suffering in the wild? Honestly laboratory protocols are often more humane than what happens in my backyard every day.
