They are never allowed to get past a certain level of growth. The health applications of such research could be phenomenal.

Galileo was seen as terrible when he made his discoveries and the doctors of old who worked on human cadavers were seen as unethical - yet look at us now, without them we would be decades behind what we currently are in physics/astronomy and probably at least a century in medical science.
