Research into human development involves the use of human embryos and their derivative cells and tissues. How religions view the human embryo depends on beliefs about ensoulment and the inception of personhood, and science can neither prove nor refute the teaching of those religions that consider the zygote to be a human person with an immortal soul. This Spotlight article discusses some of the dominant themes that have emerged with regard to how different religions view the human embryo, with a focus on the Christian faith as well as Buddhist, Hindu, Jewish and Islamic perspectives.
对人类发育的研究涉及人类胚胎及其衍生细胞和组织的使用。宗教如何看待人类胚胎取决于关于灵魂赋予和人格起始的信仰，而且科学既无法证明也无法反驳那些认为受精卵是具有不朽灵魂的人的宗教教义。这篇聚焦文章讨论了关于不同宗教如何看待人类胚胎所出现的一些主要议题，重点关注基督教信仰以及佛教、印度教、犹太教和伊斯兰教的观点。
