you say "Respectfully, but following the above argumentation would one say that all the human spermatozoids and all the human eggs cells (not defective) that there are in the world should be considered "half human beings" at present time...and not as only as trully human cells. And then all the followers of pro-life should say that these cells must have to be preserved and never discarded also... Best, Joao Carvalho " But " human spermatozoids and all the human eggs cells" being held seperately do not constitute human life. Human life begins when the two meet and conceive. They are not "half human beings" No biologist would agree with you. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
