'I'm Deeply Concerned' | ‘Synthetic Human Embryo’ Created Without Sperm Or Eggs

Scientists say they have created “synthetic” human embryos without the need for eggs or sperm in a potentially major advance.

Experts believe they may help to study illnesses, genetic disorders or recurrent miscarriage, but the work falls outside current UK legislation and raises ethical and legal issues.

Dr David Bull says: "It's an amazing piece of science but you need to take a step back and need regulations".

You can't play god. This is insane.

to much thinking whether they can, rather than thinking if they should.... they will be the undoing of us all

The biggest threat to mankind is mankind itself

I'm a bit dubious about the falling birth rate, all I see around here is pram pushers😅

[DailyCorvid]

Scientists have stuck two embryonic cells together in the shape of a human one. It's like saying I stuck some cardboard boxes together to make a baby shape, BUT I AM TERRIFIED OF THE ETHICS OF THE BOX BABY!

Lol honestly.

These so called "Scientists" should be prosecuted, imprisoned with a very lengthy sentence and banned from ever entering another laboratory. These people are insane. Dr Mengele would be proud of them.

They tell you it's too help, but make it difficult for a regular person to afford. Load of bs I see that plan they have for this insanity.

mission creep means that someone at some point will step over the line, dolly the sheep cloning, scary stuff.

You might be able to grow tissue but what about a brain? Personality? A soul. This shouldn't be allowed to happen.

Thought Schwab wanted population down to 500m by 2030!

Don't challenge the unknown and invisible.

Huxley's Brave New World is becoming a reality.

[lollybooth]

You bet that they've already taken it much further if they're admitting to growing an embryo.

In the right hands, it can benefit humanity. In the wrong hands, it can harm humanity. Two Words: New Cures, Two More Words: Zombie Apocalypse.

Having suffered my entire life with a congenital disease. I think this is fantastic ❤

[spearhrower]

LOL they've been making people in labs for decades, try to keep up

[dreadfulspiller]

I thought science looked down on eugenics?

[JonMurray]

4:05 what great person?! 😂 A group of people who know absolutely nothing about science saying how scary science is. This goes for the clip and the comments.

[joanwilson]

This is iniquitous. You are forgetting the "God Factor"

[DBS]

how is this morally unethical or lawful ???
