Don't you just LOVE the ethical questions surrounding all of this?

That's always been an easy one for me. Just replace "embryo" with "fetus," and then with "neonate," and then with "child" and see what answers pop up. Sometimes "grown-up" even fits, depending on the disease.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
