The relgious pro-life side would be just as afraid. Simply developing the technology amounts to human experimentation. Your research specimens are human embryos, and you're going to kill a lot of them. The ones you don't kill might reach stages of life where you're legally unable to terminate them before you realize you've created a kid who's gonna die of cancer at age 6.
I've always thought the technology has been slow to develop because abortionists are afraid of the implications.
