Sure hes my source:

Ustwo, B.S. D.D.S. M.S., worked in a genetics lab for two years as well. Now taking out the pure dentistry stuff, that’s 11 years of biology study after high school. Its also something anyone who was a basic biology major should be able to figure out on their own without any advanced work. What they are talking about is a fertilized egg, or at most a blastocyst. There isn't much we are going to learn from a human fertilized egg beyond what we know in other mammals because the initial stages of development are all almost identical. The only real use I can see of it is to perfect human cloning.

The comparison is a huge stretch, imo; on the one hand you have discarded embryos that have never been born or lived, and on the other you have adult humans who have lives, memories, and families.


Ok this is quite funny really. Instead of Iraqi's you could use someone who died in a police hostage standoff, or maybe the 40k a year who die in car crashes in the US every year.

Lets try it on for size....

If you are willing to sacrifice 40,000 people a year in traffic accidents I don't understand the unwillingness to use those embryos.

Or maybe this one.....

If you are willing to eat apples I don't understand your unwillingness to eat oranges.

Ok now that I got that silliness aside, I am IN favor of using those dead babies but I can respect those who view it as murder. The difference is I don't play philosophical games to sooth my conscious over it. I think abortion is murder, I just don't care that much since I view it as genetic selection removing undesirable traits from humanity. If people want to step out of the gene pool in such a selfish and brutal manner I don't want those genes in the next generation, and we might as well get some good from their irresponsibility.
