Is it a sin to destroy a growing embryo to obtain stem cells?
A new study, led by Dr. George Q. Daley of the Children’s Hospital of Boston, uses a procedure known as parthenogenesis in which a series of chemical treatments are used to encourage an unfertilized egg to begin embryonic development.
This scientific research led to the obtaining of some Stem Cells but as usual the developing embryo had to be destroyed.
Is a God’s hand also involved in such an embryos growth?
Is it a sin to destroy a growing embryo only if growth is stimulated by artificial insemination with a sperm’s chemicals rather than with non spermatic chemicals?
Why, with all due respect, is manipulating human cell even considered potentially a sin yet putting down the family dog is not? The cell has no capacity to suffer, the dog does. I’m all for the belief that to kill is simply and unquestionably wrong. But having decided some killing is acceptable, there’s got to be a different standard. If I can justify killing a HUGE fish for a tuna sandwich, I can rationalize using embryonic stem cells for even only potential therapeutic gains. That fish dies of asphyxiation and you know that to the extent that a fish can suffer, it does. The embryo does not. I can explain it to my god, I can explain it to yours if you’d like (but let’s be honest, the creation of sin in this case is the work of man, not god – it is the churches only nod to science in the last 100 years).
