Rees, I don't see a cure in my lifetime, I"m 65, but would like stem cell research to go forward so some day children and younger people might have cures. How many cells/?? How many have already been discarded to produce in vitro babies? I would say as many as are going to be discarded. I don't believe a blastocyst is a human being, an egg is a chicken, or an acorn is an oak tree. If I did, of course, I would not want any and would call for shutdown of in vitro clinics.
