Hilary your point has been made about how difficult it would be to investigate the fertilized eggs that fail to implant and are washed away in the menstrual cycle. apparently, anything that has been fertilized has 14th amendment rights. that could include teratomas (ovarian tumors) because besides teeth, hair and bone, they contain the human genome. Unfertilized eggs and sperm are not 50% a person - it is the unimplanted blastoyst (in petri dish or frozen or in utero) that is a "person" with rights. The implications for enforcement, IVF, contraception, research are enormous and impossible to deal with. Implantation has to successfully take place for this microscopic undifferentiated glob of cells to have a chance at "life". Opponents don't want scientists to have any power over this. But they are not working to outlaw IVF - thousands "die" so some can be born - why?
