British fertility specialists have developed a powerful new way to test embryos for inherited diseases, offering hundreds of couples their first realistic chance of having healthy children. The procedure has been hailed as a big advance, boosting the number of diseases clinics can test for from about 200 to nearly 6,000.
The new test will allow doctors to see which male embryos are free of the disease-causing mutation, so fewer embryos will be wasted.
Wasted? If we concede, which we must, that a human embryo is a human life, then we are witnessing yet another groteseque and macabre assault on humanity and the sanctity and dignity of human life. One wonders how long God is going to permit His will to be mocked and scorned?
