      Hi Ruh18,

      No I don’t think it’s wrong to use an embryo in research. What many people don’t realise is that the embryos we are allowed to use in research will never grow into a baby because either they are not good enough or the people who donated those embryos do not want another child.
      If we didn’t use them they would be destroyed – so really it’s not a choice between research or a child but a choice between research or the bin. I personally don’t like the idea of eggs and embryos been thrown away, so I would rather see them be used for some good.

      I hope that answers your question? What are your thoughts on this? Do you agree or disagree??
