Respect for Life (Donum Vitae) 1987 n “To use human embryos or foetuses as Respect for Life (Donum Vitae) 1987 n “To use human embryos or foetuses as the object or instrument of experimentation constitutes a crime against their dignity as human beings having a right to the same respect that is due to the child already born and to every human person. ” n “The practice of keeping alive human embryos in vivo or in vitro for experimental or commercial purposes is totally opposed to human dignity. “

Donum Vitae 1987 n Human embryos obtained in vitro are human beings and subjects Donum Vitae 1987 n Human embryos obtained in vitro are human beings and subjects with rights: their dignity and right to life must be respected from the first moment of their existence. It is immoral to produce human embryos destined to be exploited as disposable "biological material".

Donum Vitae, 1987 n Also, attempts or hypotheses for obtaining a human being without Donum Vitae, 1987 n Also, attempts or hypotheses for obtaining a human being without any connection with sexuality through "twin fission", cloning or parthenogenesis are to be considered contrary to the moral law, since they are in opposition to the dignity both of human procreation and of the conjugal union.

Human cloning: why it is wrong n n Creation of embryo with intent to Human cloning: why it is wrong n n Creation of embryo with intent to destroy; “strip mining” of stem cells; “commodification” of human life “Therapeutic” cloning will lead inevitably to reproductive cloning Problem with oocyte supply Clones may be defective because of incomplete reprogramming of genome

Advantages of adult stem cells n n n Autologous (in some cases) No tissue Advantages of adult stem cells n n n Autologous (in some cases) No tissue rejection No ethical concerns No teratoma formation Easy to obtain (bone marrow aspirate) Widely available

Disadvantages (criticism) of adult stem cells n n Some “plasticity” or “transdifferentiation” may be Disadvantages (criticism) of adult stem cells n n Some “plasticity” or “transdifferentiation” may be simply a result of cell fusion Not as “pluripotential” as embryonic stem cells

Counter to criticism n n Not all results can be explained by cell fusion. Counter to criticism n n Not all results can be explained by cell fusion. Fusion does occur in liver but liver cells are often multinuclear MAPCs can give rise to cells of all germ layers and appear to have same potential as embryonic stem cells (and do not form teratomas)
