Scientists have created synthetic human embryos using stem cells in a groundbreaking advance that side-stepped the need for eggs or sperm. Scientists say that these model embryos – which resemble those in the earliest stages of human development – could provide a crucial window into the impact of genetic disorders and the biological causes of recurrent miscarriage.

When this becomes viable, watch “natural” (as opposed to “lab-grown”?) humans in the USA suddenly become legally required to get abortions/sterilization, and no rights for any human.

Could you explain why you think that would be the case?
