I believe Zavos believes he would be helping infertile couples have children when they cannot do so by conventional methods. However, when Zavos states there is a 70% chance the human being may come out with abnormalities, I don't think it would be the right thing to do. It's not like he's experimenting with an inanimate object- or animals as he has done in the past. This is a human baby, an innocent human life. If the baby is born with any type of defect, Zavos will be viewed as a monster. I will not view him this way but I will view him as a scientist that jumped the gun before he looked at all the angles of this "experiment". Zavos and team should be more certain of what the outcome will be experimenting with an innocent human life. Anyway, I'm glad you brought this story to light. It's very controversial. It's those non black and white issues that are the most interesting to talk about.
