He's just making more embryos to be 'killed', which doesn't matter in regards to debate going on in the US because the US ban on federal funding using new 'lines' doesn't apply to the rest of the world which is free to keep developing new lines.

If someone fused a cell from the skin on your arm with parts of an egg cell from some woman, and that fused cell began to divide, should we call it an "embryo?" Maybe, but it is no ordinary embryo! The goal, of course, is not to kill it, it is to grow the cells and then use them to replace cells in your damaged organs.
