1. Is a three to five day old embryo deserving of moral respect and protection?

2. If unwanted embryos in fertility clinics are going to be destroyed anyway, why not harvest their stem cells first and reap the potential benefits?

3. Should pro-life organizations such as Catholic health care institutions, participate in research on ESC lines if doing so would not entail the destruction of any more embryos?
