Human embryo models made from pluripotent stem cells are not synthetic; they arent embryos, either.

Abstract

Embryo models are potentially highly impactful for human health research because their development recapitulates otherwise inaccessible events in a poorly understood area of biology, the first few weeks of human life. Casual reference to these models as synthetic embryos is misleading and should be approached with care and deliberation.
