    Researchers are now permitted to grow human embryos in the lab for longer than 14 days. Here’s what they could learn.

    Permitted?! So they weren’t allowed to grow embyros longer than 14 days prior to that? Why?

      I think that was an arbitrary definition for when it would be considered human as opposed to a bundle of cells. But you’d think they’d use the same guideline as abortions there. That seems most logical.
