Right. It makes logical sense to me from a humanistic standpoint as well, that embryonic stem cell usage wouldn't be ethical. Luckily, it is no longer used.
It was useful at the time before advancements were made though. Many children's lives were saved by embryos, was that not a good thing at the time before it became obsolete? Better than letting dying children die, right?
I mean, I don't think there's anything immoral about taking stem cells from embryos because I don't even think embryos are conscious. But even if I did why would I not think a dead conscious embryo is a lesser evil than a dead conscious child?
