Should we really consider the merging of an egg and sperm to be human life? Why? I was reading a book by John Medina called The Outer Limits of Life (when I was exploring the limits of my fundamentalist upbringing) in an effort to understand where life begins (for humans, anyway). It turns out to be a very fuzzy boundary; especially when we consider that some eggs can spontaneously begin cell division processes. (I'm not a biologist, so I can't name the specifics). Given that example, one could argue that every egg is "human life" if it can potentially become a human being. (Every sperm is sacred...) Given scientists ability to merge genetic material, and the presence of genetic material in all of our cells (and this appears far fetched) perhaps there will be a day when every discarded human cell could potentially become a human (given the right circumstances). <BR/><BR/>This idea of life beginning at conception holds sway over all kinds of impractical and socially disadvantageous stands (like complete opposition to abortion). <BR/><BR/>Even if we could provide a "good" scientific education for all people, I'm pretty sure we cannot prevent the embedding of superstitions in people's minds.<BR/><BR/>DaveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15005476.post-1153962124973603192006-07-26T21:02:00.000-04:002006-07-26T21:02:00.000-04:00I just want to comment on the point M makes about ...I just want to comment on the point M makes about the bill only using discarded embryos. I have personally been torn in both directions on the issue. I don't believe human life should be destroyed for research. But then lies the issue that this life was going to be discarded anyway, so part of me says - why shouldn't it be used to help others. My own personal worry is that even though we say "only discarded embyos", the fact is we would be creating a market for the embryos. Having personally used I.V.F. I know how easy it would be for an I.V.F. clinic to create additional embryos if they knew there was money to be made from so called discarded embryos. Creating federal funding for the research will create an additional market for embryos that are not used for I.V.F., and will probably raise the value for such embryos. So if they included in the bill that no moneys can be generated by the donation of embryos that would help in my mind. Then there is also the issue that couple conducting I.V.F. may also not mind creating extra embryos knowing that they won't be completely waisted. I understand that is there freedom to do so. I just want you to understand the issue is not as simple as may be perceived. Point being this bill will create additional embryos.Jim Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16928807367473160898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15005476.post-1153561346774323572006-07-22T05:42:00.000-04:002006-07-22T05:42:00.000-04:00The third bill comes closest to pure insanity: it ...The third bill comes closest to pure insanity: it actually prohibits a practice known (to fear-mongering Republicans) as “fetus harvest,”<BR/><BR/>...<BR/><BR/>You can't trust evolution-loving, research-doing, evil-doer scientists. <BR/><BR/>I'm not even sure we should be messin' around with cancer cells either.
