In response to ethics posted by redback:
Your answer did shed some light. I was also alluding to the complexity that surrounds any debate on when human life begins and the implications of any decision. More generally was the issue of how difficult ethical decisions can be when opposing sides are arguing based on totally different parameters i.e. doctrine vs scientific theory.
.
Your last sentence suggests that Australian scientists appear to be moving slowly on this issue even though they have been given the green light. If so, this may not be a bad thing. Somethings time enhances clarity of thought and even when/if they proceed this should be with increased confidence.
