Rayilyn,
Did the law state whether the single cell that had rights was haploid or diploid, i.e. before or after the sperm and egg cells fuse'?
I just had a horrible thought -
we women have been destroying egg cells on a monthly basis for millions of years
and it has never been illegal before!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Georgia Legislature
Passes Nation's First Embryo Adoption Law
Contact: Daniel Becker, Georgia Right to Life, 678-524-9504
ATLANTA, April 3 /Christian Newswire/ -- By a vote of 108 to 61, the Georgia House sent the nation's first ever embryo adoption bill, HB 388, to the desk of Governor Sonny Perdue for him to sign into law. .........
.
...... It also clarifies that an embryo's life begins "at a single-celled" stage. "This is an important distinction as we see the medical community attempt to lessen the personhood of an embryo by re-defining a zygote to be a 'pre-embryo'" says Becker.
