This came up on a NOVA program segment on stem cell research. If the right-to-lifers consider an embryo to be a person, ask them if they'd go in a burning building to save one.
If you had the choice between saving a child in a burning fertility clinic or the 100+ frozen embryos there, which would you save?
I know not many on this board are the people who need to be asked this question, but in case it comes up in your conversations elsewhere, I thought I'd share it.

I intended it for public use. It pretty much defines the difference between conception and personhood.
Can we please save 'real' lives with those embryonic cells now? |

| This is perfect for the Trick questions for the spiritual thread, good one! |
"...things I have neither seen nor experienced nor heard tell of from anybody else; things, what is more, that do not in fact exist and could not ever exist at all. So my readers must not believe a word I say." -Lucian on his book True History
"...They accept such things on faith alone, without any evidence. So if a fraudulent and cunning person who knows how to take advantage of a situation comes among them, he can make himself rich in a short time." -Lucian critical of early Christians c.166 AD From his book, De Morte Peregrini |
