Controversial Topic Discussion

I think it rational to include potential for life in the thought process somewhere. Most especially when there are other avenues such as adult stem cells, umbilical and hopefully this reprogrammed cell type that could help the study of parkinson's just as well as the mindless blob. At conception a mindless blob has the potential to grow into a living being. I'm sure that you don't see it the same as me but I think that potential earns that mindless blob a right to a chance for that life. Some embryos won't make it anyway but the potential life form has the right to an unobstructed pathway to that life, let nature take its course...I'm not all together opposed to the use of naturally aborted fetus stem cells given the parent's consent, there is another alternative avenue from the manufacturing of mindless blobs with the potential to become humans.

I arrive at my position purely through philosophy and science, no religion is needed. Scientifically the potential for life exists at conception, philosophically that potential for life has a right to its life, which is where we rationally disagree.
