      Sort of?

      There should be extensive protections in place. But mostly so the people who’re relying on them don’t get blind sided by something.

      Also, embryos aren’t people. So the owners get to destroy them.

      Also, also, there should be safe guards for embryos donated to research, so that they aren’t allowed to become viable (I’m thinking of that Chinese guy who gmo’d some kids in incredibly risky “research”.)

      Chicken embryos are good protein. Human embryos I don’t give a shit about.

      The rest, no.

Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title.

7. No duplicate posts.

If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.

All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description.
