In countries which already permit embryo research, there are no 'compelling moral arguments' why the time limit for experimentation should not be doubled, say ethics experts. This could enable synthetic embryos in the lab which can grow into humans, improved IVF treatment, the creation of 'organoid' models of human organs for replacement and research to allow infertile/same sex couples to have genetically related children.
