Untangling Twinning What Science Tells Us About the Nature of Human Embryos by Maureen L. Condic
Scientists and philosophers have long struggled to answer the questions of when human life begins and when human life has inherent value. The phenomenon of identical (monozygotic) twinning presents a significant challenge to the view that human life and human personhood begin at conception.
BMBF conference
#HumanEmbryos in #MedicalResearch:
Taboo? - Justifiable? - Chance?
In the workshop "Framework of research on and with human pluripotent stem cells and human cellular entities (-oids)", key issues and framework conditions of new legislative initiatives were intensively discussed. Afterwards, Dirk Lanzerath presented the outcomes to the plenary and the Ministry.

Research on early embryos and cell structures generated in laboratories offer new perspectives for health research and medicine. Meanwhile ethical questions arise. A conference provides the opportunity for critical reflection and discussion.

A synthetic embryo can now be constructed from very early pre-embryonic cells – without the need for an egg or sperm. These were initially created in mice. In April, Chinese researchers created synthetic monkey embryos. Last month, the first synthetic human models were reportedly created. This development throws a moral monkey-wrench into the current moratoria on embryonic research after 14 days. But there are more problems ahead.
"Scientists have created synthetic human #embryos using #StemCells in a groundbreaking advance that side-stepped the need for eggs or sperm.*
