"How am I supposed to respond to that?" Admittedly his wording could have been better. But it is hardly a straw man. "Imagine if the supply of embryos could not keep up with the demand. What next?" Abortion wouldn't even be in the cards. No guarantee of genetics, for one. Once a cell line is cultured, it can be used for a long time as it grows. So there won't be any "demand outstripping supply". It isn't like a new embryo is needed for each experiment or treatment. There are only like 60 cell lines in existence. So we are talking about a grand total of 60 embryos used to date.
