there is no way by Anonymous Citizen on November 10, 2007
of proving that an embryo is a person. In order to have confirmed proof we would have to have a talk with the embryo for it to tell us exactly when it began to process with its mind, do you see this happening anytime soon? Didn't think so, so until then if it could even remotely help to find a cure for someone that we know 100% is living then I say go for it. Most of these embryo's come from people who have saved embryos and no longer wish to use them so would you rather them to be thrown in the trash, then used to possible save someone close to you one day? Ridiculous, now you right to lifers are just going overboard with the crusade on this one. In the trash or used to find a cure either way they will not ever be a person, the only difference is that the latter could help to save a person.

'organism', but not every 'organism' grows up to be a person.
once again, at what point do we draw the line authorizing the lawful killing of a human being?
