Scientists Grow Model of Human Embryo Without Sperm or an Egg | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

A new report says scientists have grown an entire model of a human embryo without using sperm or egg. A report by the BBC says the Israel-based team used stem cells to create the embryo, adding the model looks like a textbook example of a real 14 day of embryo. The hope is that the research provides an ethical way of understanding the earliest moments of our lives. A Specialist in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, Dr. Lauren Rubal, joins to share her reaction to this. Dr. Rubal tells us what the Church's standpoint on this would be. One of the findings in the study is that the model embryo produced hormones and even induced a positive pregnancy test. Dr. Rubal discusses what she makes of this and how potentially dangerous that could be. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
