please, somebody explain to me why he and others see this as infanticide? .... snip ... AND, it is my BELIEF that an embryo is just that--an embryo--until it is implanted and becomes capable of becoming fetal material.

The reason you haven't gotten any more responses is that your belief displays that you are unwilling to understand our beliefs. My belief is that when sperm meets egg, a very special unique person is created. Just because that person cannot survive on their own, does not have eyes and ears yet, etc, does not make them not a person.

I have no problem with IVF, IF all the babies are preserved and get to have a chance at life. However, I do have a problem with embryonic stem cell research.

I hope this explains it well enough.

When sperm meets egg a zygote is formed, nothing more until somewhere when the "unique person" has a chance at survival outside the womb. An embryo is a seed, not a seedling...and just as it doesn't bother me to see a seed fail to root, it DOES bother me to see a tree in the process of growing uprooted. It is my belief that God does not imbue a soul into someone's being until it is REASONABLY formed in the likeness of a human and is capable of at least a chance of life outside the womb...these test tube embryos could go a long way to helping such life and, then again, they might not--but we will never know until RESEARCH is allowed!
