No I didn't understand it but since you do perhaps you can explain...

Now you're chain yankin' big time. Change the w in the sentence to a t, but you knew that.

I would agree.


Unborn offspring of a mammal.

Whatever the definitions though, I'm unconvinced by the case for research.

Well, our Mac OSX Dictionary says an embryo is this:

an unborn or unhatched offspring in the process of development.
• an unborn human baby, esp. in the first eight weeks from conception, after implantation but before all the organs are developed.

Methinks thou might be a little silly then betwixt us twain.

And you don't understand sarcasm either. Marvelous. So let me suggest you not read The Winter's Tale. It might be a tad too sophisticated for you.

exactly.... it's not a baby , not a fetus... it's a mass of unorganized cells....

now I don't want that to sound cold... I have respect for life.. but the "religious right' people treat a fertilized egg the same they do a newborn. They are not the same.

AND I see them attack abortion and stem cell research, but are MUM when it comes to fertility clinics... or birth control, or sex education, or anything else not religious.

reminds me of the idiots who attacked Copernicus because he dared to say " the Earth is NOT the center of the universe." geez didn't fit their religious beliefs... God didn't think THEY were #1 because everything didn't spin around them !
dumb arses !!

It all comes down to the first step in labeling who is an idiot or not. It's the age old argument of "it all depends on what ones opinion is of when "life" starts." A microbe of bacteria is considered life, right, why not that?

Why are you mad? None of those has to do with destroying life. They deal with procreation and dealing with the responsibilities of making a life.

Again, according to ones definition of when life starts, it's hard to judge who is the idiot or the ass, huh?

You mean "It is the people that are the ethics or morals by majority - not the government"?

I still don't get it - "people are the ethics...?"

Keymaker, to me if abortions are legal, so should work on embryonic stem cells. Abortions go farther into the life than embryos in a test tube.
