Perhaps the debate has changed but the initial angle was it was ok to kill a fetus b/c it wasn't considered life. They have probably spun this argument a lot since then and I really don't care b/c I don't follow the debate.
But I digress. This experiment will probably come under intense scrutiny in the next few years so I would wait to see exactly what was created instead of listening to the initial and often over-exaggerated initial reports.
