They don't intend on the embryos ever growing into anything you'd recognize as even living. It would even be called a fetus as an embryo is only an embryo up to the eighth week after fertilization. This is a predecessor to the end of all genetic diseases. Not only the medical revolution that will be sparked by this type of research, but the biological field will permanently be changed for the better. Evolution will be further validated, and we will know more about our human evolution as the development of the embyro usually mimics the order in how it evolved.
In my opinion, I don't see any problem with this. No humans are being harmed, no being is being harmed, and the benefits are enormous. I think the only reason this is controversial is because the layman doesn't have an in-depth understanding of human development. It should indeed by heavily regulated, but I have no doubt that this will indeed be a very regulated science.
So for the love of god. Think of the children. Don't ruin a life before it even begins. Be careful with it.

My comment was entirely an argument against doing what the title says.
