Scientists have stunned the world by revealing the creation of synthetic human embryos in a lab without eggs or sperm.
The breakthrough, by Cambridge University and California Institute of Technology experts, could soon provide insights into miscarriages and genetic disorders.
However, synthetic embryos are not covered by laws in the UK or in most countries around the world – and come with serious ethical and legal issues. Scientists who were not involved in the achievement have now shared their concerns about the technology, with one calling it 'chilling'.

Such immoral action under the pretense of 'science' has already happened and will continue - while others who fancy themselves as scientists moan and uselessly wring their hands. Gain of Function research was also said to be dangerous and look were that got us with Covid-19.

At last!
The means to actually create a "Master Race"!
You-know-who was such a visionary. Just a tad ahead of his time I guess...

Sounds like the beginning of a body parts industry to me.

Eureka, the hopes and dreams of gender ideologues are fulfilled!!! Sexual reproduction can now be a thing of the past, and we can start indoctrinating the world on the absolute non-special status of male and female for anthropology and civilization. The woke can drive God to abdicate, and we can now exalt Adam and Steve. No more need for Eve.
Careful what you ask for, people.

The evil ones behind the Wuhan Lab operation are hard at work on this as I am typing.
Whenever something can be abused for evil purposes..... someone, somewhere, will DO it!..... and SOMEONE, somewhere, in our Federal government is probably FUNDING it..... with OUR TAX MONEY!
Whaddya say, Fauci? Birx? EcoHealth?

I'm sure the Chinese have already done it and preparing to grow them to full size. But the covids did not leak from the Wuhan lab so I am probably wrong.

What's that screwball ad running on Newsmax where a young gal tells her husband she's "about to have a fetus!" I've seen it a couple of times, but not sure what point it's making!

Not “if” misused, but WHEN misused could have a chilling effect…

If? IF????
This story is just prepping us for what's already happening. God help us.
And about the "fetus" commercial referenced by #9, it's purpose, I believe, is demonstrating the pathetic pretzel attempt of the left to neutralize use of the word "baby". Aborting a "fetus" sounds so much less brutal and evil than acknowledging what is actually being done.
The spot ends with a precious, wide-eyed little girl next to her mother's very pregnant tummy. She tells her parents what is actually in there: "It's a baby."

These developments simply extend the research that has been completed on mouse embryos to human embryos. In both cases, the science runs into a brick wall because the induced stem cells lack the epigenetic imprinting that is present when sperm and egg cells fuse in natural fertilization. Getting to the blastocyst stage is just a matter of dividing cells. What needs to happen is that the blastocyst needs to form a yolk sac and induce the creation of a placenta to enable embryonic maturation. All placental mammals require both male and female chromosomes to mature which are not present in the synthetic stem cell embryos. It's a much harder problem and one that will prevent human gestation of these embryos for a long time.

starting to think there are WAY too many doctors with God complexes, and too many scientists who refuse or are incapable of understanding the ethical dictim: "just because you CAN doesnt mean you should NOT". And I dont buy their limpwristed excuse: "but it will save humanity." Too many of them dont care about humanity. Too many care about their own egos and sense of importance. Too many narcissists getting control.

Sorry but I HAVE to write a second post. This wouldnt happen if there was an edit feature.
That should be "just because they CAN does not mean they SHOULD [no "NOT"]"
Ugh...this is what I get for trying to post during lunch break.

Be careful. Our Lady of Garabandal has warned "The cup is already filling up, and if we do not change, a very great chastisement will come upon us." I understand a lot of people do not believe things like this, but look up Garabandal
Appearences . I think the
good Lord is getting fed up. He won't be happy about this stuff! it's so wrong

Way back when, Michael Crichton wrote "Jurassic Park" and brought up the problem of no legal controlling authority concerning use of "created" lifeforms. He was such an intelligent man and writer. It is the equivalent of scientists and those who financially support them riding rough through the lawless Wild West, mindless of where their shots go and whoever might get hurt. Nothing legal to give them pause before they act.

Do yourself a favor; do a search of ''image of the beast.'' Articles in this vein are attempting to get us ready to receive the Antichrist with open arms and all our money. Remember always that facts do NOT have feelings. Also, there already exists an industry to harvest real organs and bones and to make synthetic copies of them. Ever hear of a knee replacement? What else would that be called? Obama wanted to tax all medical devices, including IUD and tampons.
