I just found this cool link at the guardian UK website. It shows the embbryonic cells of mice forming an eye. I just think its amazing, and is a good example of what embryonic cells can do. But I am conflicted, because, if these were human embryonic cells, it could be akin to an organ factory. Any opinions out there???? How can we balance the magic of science of science with the ethical nature of the use of human cells? For me it comes down to beliefs and where these lie. I would like to think some may be able to compromise their values when you see the benefits of the treatments on people's lives. But I suppose this is one reason there is such controversy around human cloning- there are obvious opposing values.
Enjoy the video.
