On Thursday, Pope Francis told a special Vatican audience that there is no justification for the destruction or the use of embryos for scientific purposes. The pope said that embryos should not be used in research even if the research would be able to help people suffering from incurable diseases. Around 1,700 people from 16 countries gathered at the Vatican Thursday for a special event for people affected by Huntington’s disease and their caretakers, according to Herald Malaysia. Huntington’s disease is an incurable, genetic brain disorder. Pope Francis’ audience included members of the medical and scientific communities too. These doctors and scientists also listened as Pope Francis told them that he sees several ethical problems surrounding Huntington’s disease research.
