Yes, by advocating perpetual imprisonment of other human beings, you truly are God's noblest of men.

I repeat myself. If your argument is what constitutes imprisonment, then what about artificial intervention to keep the terminally ill, alive?

Mind you, even frozen embryos degenerate over time.

Yes, the wrongfully-imprisoned have been known to rot in jail. Read Solzhenitsyn.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The Catholic Church has never demanded that the terminally ill be kept alive by artificial means. I believe that the position of the church is that people be made as comfortable as possible,( which includes hydration and nutrition, by the way)

Why are you using this strawman argument?

Freezing an embryo is imprisoning a human who is innocent of any crime. Keeping them perpetually frozen is denying them their God given right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
