Why should we allow self appointed "biomedical ethicists" to dictate what interventions we can use?

If someone says they should have the right to refuse a intervention, even if those "ethicists" otherwise approve of it, those ethicists give a smug nod of approval.

But if someone says they should have the right to use an intervention that those self appointed "ethicists" don't approve of, they will stamp their feet like toddlers and use every force of the state available to try and stop you.

If we allow parents to destroy embryos, why is it so controversial to allow them to modify them?
