I
don't think there are any real moral issues with embryonic stem cells.
Until the moment there is nervous tissue there is no possibility of
human consciousness. The cells are machines, that build more cells out
of raw materials. If it hasn't yet built tissue capable of
consciousness it shouldn't have any rights.
It's no different
from a potential future 3d bio printer that starts printing a baby or an
adult, until it prints neural tissue, the printing process can be
stopped at any moment with no moral issues. The printer nor the raw
materials have rights, nor should cells by themselves irregardless of
the building instructions they carry.-DS
