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?
No, I don't think killing one innocent life to potentially help another down the road is an ethical solution.

I'm getting results for something tomorrow. Nothing medical though, I'm getting the results for my autism assessments (I've had 2 already, and my mom has had one with them to discuss my childhood)... I told a few people and I said it on open forum at least once, I think. Or maybe I forget and I just told a few people in private.
I know I mentioned that I was having it soon but I can't remember if I mentioned the date.
Actually technically it's today here as it's already 1:45 A.M. on the 22nd here.
I have no clue whether I'll get diagnosed or not but I've been told I'll get a lot of support regardless of results so I get the impression that I'm either autistic or borderline autistic.
Did you have delayed speech in your childhood?
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
