For The Good of the Company

We all respect workers rights but what about the rights of embryos?

The House of Commons is about to consider the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill which raises a number of profound ethical questions some of which this viral seeks to allegorise. Specifically, (among other things) the bill allows for the continued creation of fully human embryos for research up to 14 days (which has been legal since 1990) and also makes provision for the creation of animal-human hybrids embryos for research up to 14 days (which the bill would make legal for the first time). At 14 days both the fully human embryos and animal-human embryos must be terminated.

Makes you think!

[acedrinker]

thanks for posting this is really funny but makes a serious point. It is scary to think there is so little public debate on this stuff.

i think i would jump on that table, hit him really hard in the head with my foot, poked his eye out, then constantly repetitively kick him with my fist in his stomach ,

[TimJacksonBristol]

Ugh. Could you please think non-biasly for just a moment?

They're comparing the human rights of adults and embryos. It's saying that embryos are human, and should have human rights.

Well if embryos aren't human, when do they become human?

[HoudiniRadini]

OMFG this is a joke. Workers are very different from a foetus. Even if your humiliation analogy was possibly near to what is happening, as in foetuses getting kick me signs put on them, they haven't got the abiblity to think at all, let alone be humiliated. Open your eyes, for everyone's sake, you are restricting humanities progress.

For the good of the company...What about the good of the individual? The good of the embryo? The means do not justify the end.

[TCPHumanist]

Right...

So, if I get your analogy correct...we play pranks on foetuses, are incredibly mean and cold-hearted towards them - and that's BEFORE aborting them?

Doesn't make any sense whatsoever. The "human rights as employees vs. foetus rights" part, fine... but office pranks? What?!

What in the name of God? This is very poor.

As Ronald Reagan would say, "there they go again" predicting the same miracle cures. The science lobby did it with (a) embryo research in 1990, then in 2000/01 with (b) embryonic stem cell research and now (c) human/animal experiments. What cures have been found using (a) and (b)? Answer? Not one. Adult stem cells are the answer which is why the guy who discovered Dolly the sheep no longer uses embryonic stem cells. MPs should reject this awful Bill.

[jimmybob12]

Well, im undecided on abortion but this is a ridiculous argument, try again.

[audioflea]

That should have said "worst" analogy.

Whoops.

[audioflea]

How long has embryonic stem cell research been carried out?

How long has adult stem cell research been carried out? Answer: a hell of a lot longer than embryonic research.

Please don't think that reading one website and quoting it gives you an informed opinion. It will be very very biased.
