We're not talking about embryos in the mother. There is a law set forth by the supreme court allowing the mother "choice". I do understand their decision and can live with that, even if I disagree.

What we're talking about here is human embryos never

implanted into a mother, but rather owned by a lab or a corporation, who will do not what's best for the embryo, but will make decisions based on their destruction and their profitability. Yuch ! Have a good day.

You obviously did not watch his speech with an open mind. Instead, you latched on to the parts that stood out to you, and ignored all the parts that actually addressed all your concerns.

This is another complex topic,

I must say, this is very informational,

And from someone so closely allied in the media to the public's champion of gene centered evolution.

Number of cells. Senseless.

Well how about this. The embryo is a part of the mother until it reaches a point where it has any chance to survive on it's own. Therefore it is an infringement upon the mothers right to own her own body that is infringed.

Deal.

Just make sure you're televised when you do it. Or just bring a camera and host it on youtube subsequently. I think we could all use a good laugh.

[oran6es]

I just might do that. Thanks for the idea. Wish me luck.

If you truly agree with that ludicrous argument then you should fight for birth certificates of embryos.

Go ahead and fight for the rights of non-sentient, non-sustainable microscopic cells. See how far you get with that bullshit argument.

I'm really not an idiot. The embryo in the lab is de facto born there, and since not within the mother, may have rights. Ownership of these individuals and total subjugation(when to freeze, thaw, destroy, sell), may be unconstitutional, as a violation of the 13th amendment. Hmmm. Supreme court ?
