To your last question, destroyed embryos can't suffer. Neither can genetically modified embryos that are destroyed or never get implanted. That's a pretty big difference!
How would you feel about performing untested gene therapies on healthy babies?

- roywiggins 4y agoDo you think invasive therapies should be tested on healthy people who can't give consent? Because not doing that is sort of the base principle of modern research ethics. (it might be one thing if this was an attempt to correct a genetic disease in an embryo, but it wasn't. It was on perfectly healthy embryos.)
