> Not currently protected, but they should be so protected, because they WILL be human.
Errrr.... no. That's precisely the problem: They *won't* be human. They are not being *made* to be human. They are being made to be weeded through.
> Once the process is initiated, the biochemical result is inevitable--a fully functional human being.
Once again: point to a fully functional human being (I'd settled for a ten-pound baby) brought up in a test tube... not implanted in a womb.
You're unintentionally correct. They were human, but they won't be anymore.
After they've been murdered.
Yes, they will and yes, they are. What does the DNA tell you? Human sperm and human eggs were used to create human beings; there's nothing else they could have or would have become if allowed to grow. They weren't allowed to grow but that is not the criteria for determining humanity.
Errr....yes. It doesn't matter why they are "made". If the biochemistry is started, they WILL become human, given the right conditions.
"Once again: point to a fully functional human being (I'd settled for a ten-pound baby) brought up in a test tube... not implanted in a womb."
They don't exist. That's no excuse for justifying murder, though, which is what you're all about.
