It's a difficult question. Oh, Raveneye, thanks for the pic, it really helps.
I don't know Meph, it seems the more we discuss this, the more confused I get. When I look at the picture with the accompanying text, it seems reasonable to think that "life" wouldn't "appear until a month or two when the embryo has developed into a fetus. For some people, it's not a life until it leaves the mother. For others it's a life the moment Mr. Spermy "hooks up" with Miss Eggy.
What then, would the requirement for life be? A heart beat? Someone mentioned conciousness. What about sentience? For me, I have no recollection of anything until age 6. Anything before that, I have zero memory of. There are some people (adults mind you) that I swear aren't "really there".
I don't know man, I need to think about it some more, and learn more about what cloniong, stem-cell etc really entail.
No matter what, I think having more information and learning more about the topic will lead to a more informed opinion.
