      This is a great question. I could write for ages on this but I think it all comes down to your personnal beliefs. Working with ES cells is a way to improve our understanding of life and how we can improve treatments. We do all we can to keep in our heads methods of investigation without using them.
      There is a larger conversation to begin with the work on Human embryos about to start in London.

      Ethical and moral issues have long beed the basis with guides the practice of research. Do you think that when plants are grown for their smell or beauty many think if that is morally or ethically right? perhaps when breeds of dog are crossed for the pet industry? is there much thought there?
