[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] Jeff: Both have the same rights. However, the right on the part of the embryo to exist is greater than the right of the mother to do as she pleases, especially since the child is there because of her actions in most cases. The child had no choice in the matter. The mother usually does. Sol: You're still not QUITE getting what I'm saying. Neither a gamite nor a clonable cell could, by any reasonable definition, be called human. The difference between them and an embryo is the same as the difference between an embryo and a gamite. Meaning extreme. Leave anything but the embryo alone, it dies. Leave the embryo alone, it may become a human. So why is it not considered to be so already? "Oh, so it's a religious thing." No, it's the way this country's legal system works. Get used to it. Me: "The willful ending of a human life is not nesecarily wrong." Sol: "You're the one who made an issue out of it in the first place!" You missed the last part of that section of my post. I modified my statement to spell out "The willful ending of an innocent life in cold blood is wrong." Get it now? So why not consider an embryo to be human? Your only reason is that it opens some sort of Pandora's box in which any clonable cell could be considered human. But I've already addressed that. If you define human being as including anything that could develop into an undisputed human being without outside interference, everything works out fine. [/QB][/QUOTE]
