There are Christians on either side of the fence, pro and contra. As there is no absolute statement on this area in the Bible, it appears that God has left the decision to each person's conscience.

∙ 13y agoThe Roman Catholic Church is against embryo research if it involves the death of the embryo. This is because the embryo is believed to be a potential human being who has a soul and is already known and loved by God. The Catholic Church thinks there is nothing wrong with altering the genetic make up of an embryo if it is going to make it a healthier person free from disease. This is called gene therapy.
Thanks To My Rmps Teacher Dr. Butler For That Note :P
Second Answer from a Protestant Theologian: The scriptures holds the human being as being sacred and not to be killed. Some women have donated their naturally aborted women to science. In this instance this is not considered willfully killing an embryo or fetus. Some scientist do use these donated babies in embryo research instead of murdered embryos and fetuses. The research is appreciated by millions of parents worldwide, even Christian women, when they know the embryos and fetuses were not murdered. Gene therapy and rare diseases research are extremely welcomed by humanity. By the way the person who discovered the "ability to use the babies cord" for science is a Christian woman who came from a Christian university.
