Re: stem cell research/abortion/KF
You must to have a spermatozoid alive and an egg alive also to be combined and produce an embryo alive . If they were not alive before combined there would be no embryo. As a consequence one can say when life ends (cells are death) but one can not say when the life began. So it is very arbitrary to choose when an aggregate of human cells sould start to be considered as a human being alive. Any biologist can agree on this. Best, Joao Carvalho

"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.
