Human beings/persons ~die~ when they are frozen.
As you both mention, embryos do not die from freezing, - thus proving that they have ~not~ yet attained the level of life where they could be considered as being a functioning human being/person.
Thanks.

Bad logic, again. You still are depending on function to define human being, rather than species.

You seem to be 'stuck' at insisting, illogically, that our "species" has something to do with the constitutional definition of when embryos attain the level of life where they could be considered as being a functioning human being/person.

The embryos at this stage can survive freezing under current technology, while later embryos and fetuses cannot. Who knows, some day we may be able to revive Ted Williams.

Yep, and if that day comes, your points here about murder/abortion will be even more medically moot.

And you seem to be stuck at insisting that level of functioning has everything to do with being a human being. That is not something that develops: it either is or it is not.

All human beings have the right not to be killed, whether or not they are citizens of the United States.
