Disagree partly.

I agree with you on all but the science part.

Science can inform us on facts, but not on moral choices.

I intend to keep clouding the issue as long as people make claims that science makes moral choices for us.

I am a scientist and I dislike to see it misused.

I never said that science can dictate our moral choices. But it can present us facts upon which we can then base our moral choices. And the scientific fact is that the human PERSON has its physical beginning at biological conception.

The moral choice is then simple: "Is it right to kill innocent human beings?"

The founders of the American republic said "NO."

"No person shall be...deprived of life...without due process of law." - the U.S. Constitution
