The Spin
Narrative A
This is a potential game changer in reproductive science. This still-developing technology likely has a long road before it's approved for usage in humans, but the science is promising and the impact on individuals facing infertility could be tremendous.
Narrative B
Infertility can be upsetting for many couples, who often turn to emerging reproductive technologies, but many of these processes have ethical implications. Most concerning is the fact that many human embryos will be created for the sole purpose of experimentation and then destroyed.
