Dr. Bob,
Thank you,
I think you have just cleared up the whole
issue in your one sentence.
You said, "I would consider the possibility
that implantation might be a factor in deciding
when human life is fully present."
The human cells we are fighting over are not
cells that have the prospect of becoming living,
breathing humans UNLESS they are implanted in a
woman's womb and it's questionable if that would
produce a successful pregnancy. To become a
living, breathing human being, the right
environment is still needed for growth.
No one wants to clone a baby which is why we
should have laws against reproductive cloning, but
let's leave the scientists alone to find relief
for the suffering. This should not be a partisan
issue... it's a health issue.
