If by "it" you mean the clump of undifferentiated cells of a blatocyst, then no it does not offend me.

If "it" means something else, then I cannot answer, as I'm not sure of what you speak.

I only used all-caps because I cannot understand the mindset of those who wish to define a mass of cells that has no potential for thought, much less evidence therein, as a "human being" -- especially when they begin that definition at the single-cell stage where most of them are discarded through natural causes anyway (thus making me wonder why they never propose a means of "protecting" minutes-old human fertilized ova).

Your argument is without merit. Many children die of natural causes, it doesn't justify killing them. The bastocyst is human life. You can support the taking of human life but to argue that it is something different is simply dishonest.

So we agree that liberals aren't human?
