The cloning procedure is similar to IVF. The only difference is that the DNA of sperm and egg would be replaced by DNA from an adult cell. What law or principle - secular, humanist, or religious - says that one combination of genetic material in a flask is OK, but another is not?

The term 'flask' is commonly used in scientific contexts, particularly in chemistry.

Scientific Usage

In a lab, flasks have distinct shapes, like the Erlenmeyer flask, which is conical.

Shape Specific

While often made of glass, flasks can also be plastic or metal in laboratories.

Not Always Glass

Flasks for drinks are designed to maintain temperature, keeping liquids hot or cold.

Insulation Quality

Drink flasks are meant to be carried around, often fitting in bags or car holders.

Portable

A hip flask is slim and curved to fit in a pocket, typically used for alcohol.

Hip Flask Shape

In foundry work, a flask's size and shape depend on the metal part being cast.

Industrial Shape

Foundry flasks are not for holding liquids; they shape molten metal into solid forms.
