In response to ethics posted by redback:


"embryos need to be removed from research 14 days."

Yes, this is my understanding. Any longer and researchers are now dealing with what many would consider a human life, hence the cut off point. It appears arbitrary, but I suppose it is our best guess based on our knowledge at this time. This is probably a good reason why we should guard against being too dogmatic. We simply don't have all the answers to the many important questions pertinent to this issue.
