          It is life and very simple, but it also sucks. Like, single embryo cells are not as good at moving and eating as bacteria, and is unviable in natural conditions.

      This is a horrible ethical argument. It has about as much logic as anal sex being legitimate before marriage because of the loophole of it not being traditional penetration. Just have sex. Just use viable human cells. Who cares.

      In the related articles, there’s a link to the Hamster zona-free ovum test where this snippet lies:

      Although medical professionals often present the procedure as unable to create an embryo,[5] these claims are not technically correct. If the human sperm succeeds in penetrating the hamster egg, a hybrid embryo is indeed created, known as a humster.[6] These embryos are typically destroyed before they divide into two cells; were they left alone to divide, they would still be unviable.[7]
