The Economist argues that the rules on embryo experiments should be loosened to allow for longer growth in a dish, which could help researchers understand organ development and lead to new treatments. Lab-grown models of embryos, known as embryoids, resemble real embryos and offer benefits but raise ethical questions. Four decades of research have shifted the balance of benefits and drawbacks, calling for updated regulations. Studying embryos beyond the current 14-day limit could provide insights into congenital heart disease and recurrent miscarriages.
Looking forward to @TCDGensoc symposium tonight on Ethics in Science. I'll be talking about: "Genetic Testing and Embryo Selection β the future of medicine or the new eugenics?" π§¬πΆ
Polygenic embryo screening for health, intelligence & other traits has been depicted as ineffective, unethical & eugenics. A defense of the ethics & effectiveness of polygenic embryo screening & reproductive freedom by me @JonathanAnomaly @IvesParrhesia https://t.co/zTkDWwAsjl https://t.co/j0qIrJAPLz
The red tape around embryonic research has birthed a whole new ethical dilemma. How can scientists navigate this ethical grey area and work outβwith public inputβhow these models should be used? Listen to our βBabbageβ podcast: https://t.co/c0TiCe0XeH π
In recent years scientists have discovered that they can persuade stem cells to form structures that look and behave very much like embryos.Β The resulting embryoids promise many benefits, but pose tricky ethical questions https://t.co/1q3Y6jLK8A π
Embryoids promise to transform understanding about foetal development and health, but they also raise thorny ethical questions. How should scientists be allowed to use them? https://t.co/0VmsG8i2ox π
Research on embryos is strictly regulated. Scientists have begun using lab-grown models of them, but the closer they become to the real thing, the harder it becomes to avoid the question of whether βembryoidsβ should be subject to similar rules https://t.co/UhGDd1f3WD π
Studying embryos beyond the current 14-day limit could lead to new treatments for illnesses such as congenital heart disease. It might also shed light on what leads to recurrent miscarriages. We argue rules on embryo experiments should be loosened https://t.co/yWskF5aUcL π

Four decades of research have shifted the balance of benefits and drawbacks. Regulation should change to reflect this new reality. Read our argument for loosening outdated rules on embryo experiments https://t.co/FFXHij0rZF π

The limits on embryo experiments should be eased. Lifting the rule that says embryos must not be grown in a dish for longer than 14 days could help researchers to understand how organs develop and could lead to new treatments https://t.co/3xifx0uBbv π
