Abstract
Beginning with the 8th General Synod in 1971, various General Synods of the United Church of Christ have regarded the human pre-embryo as due great respect, consistent with its potential to develop into full human personhood. General Synods have not, however, regarded the pre-embryo as the equivalent of a person. Therefore, we on the United Church of Christ Committee on Genetics do not object categorically to human pre-embryo research, including research that produces and studies cloned human pre-embryos through the 14th day of fetal development, provided the research is well justified in terms of its objectives, that the research protocols show proper respect for the pre-embryos, and that they are not implanted.
