Recent advances in in vitro gametogenesis (IVG), including in humans, have raised ethical concerns regarding the potential misuse and manipulation of 'artificial embryos'. However, basic research on IVG is expected to be of immense scientific and social value provided that the ethical, legal, and social issues are carefully considered.
近年来，体外配子发生（IVG）技术取得了进展，包括在人类中，这引发了人们对“人工胚胎”可能被滥用和操纵的伦理问题的关注。然而，只要仔细考虑伦理、法律和社会问题，IVG 的基础研究预计将具有巨大的科学和社会价值。
