If we're to have public policy on this, there are two questions the ethicist wonks who oppose pursuing this avenue of research need to answer. The first is how they can draw a bright line between producing for fertility purposes embryos that are intended to be destroyed and producing for research or therapeutic purposes embryos that are intended to be destroyed. If the latter is immoral, seems to me, the former is, as well. The second is why they ignore the obvious bright line between producing embryos and producing babies and see only slippery slope. This reminds me a lot of the gun question. Just because you buy a gun, it doesn't mean that you're going to use it to murder someone.
