And using these cells in potentially lifesaving research is morally wrong because even if that embryo was only a few cells or just one cell, it has the potential to be a human being.

而用胚胎干细胞进行潜在的医学研究则更是道德错误，因为即使这胚胎只有几个细胞甚至一个细胞，它仍有机会发育成一个人。

Isolating these cells, which are capable of maturing into any other type of cell, marked a landmark in biology — but a controversial one, since the process destroys a human embryo.

他于1998年首次分离出人类胚胎干细胞，该细胞具有分化为任何其他类型成熟细胞的能力。

A mature embryo sac is composed of egg apparatuses (two synergids and one egg cell), central cells and three antipodal cells.

成熟胚囊包含卵器(由两个助细胞、一个卵细胞组成)，中央细胞及三个反足细胞。

Once you've got them, you don't need to destroy any more embryos, but each time you get a new one of these embryonic stem-cell lines, you need to destroy an embryo.
