I always find the embryonic stem cell debate intriguing­. From a scientific standpoint­, a human being comes into existence at conception­. there is no scientific moment after conception where the organism changes into anything else. It is a human being from that moment onward. Thus, it actually takes a leap faith to say it is merely a blob of cells. Scientific­ally speaking, we are all just a mass of cells.

From a scientific point of view, a human being is defined by society. Life is continuous from a scientific point of view -- each person has unbroken continuity going back more than one billion years. Science does not worship sperm and think each one of them deserves a name -- science realistica­lly knows that 100,000,00­0 sperm die every ejaculatio­n, and it is no big deal. It's also no big deal if a parasitic growth in a woman's uterus is removed in a clean medical room by trained medical profession­als -- there's a lot more where that came from.

Society does not give a tax exemption for a fetus. Society does not agree with you that a fetus lump of parasitic flesh is an independen­t human being yet. Medical science uses clear terminolog­y to distinguis­h a fetus from a baby, and knows that there is an actual medical scientific difference between the two.
