There was no ad hominem involved Ace, just simple truth. Anybody claiming that an embryo is not viable life is practicing alchemy. Like you. Your dandruff isn't viable but an embryo certainly is. Such is life.

Wow. Redefining words to mean what you want them to mean, rathe rthan what they *actually* mean. Interesting.

An embryo in a test tube is viable *only* if some fairly advanced (as in Not Possible Before The 20th Century) medical technology is applied. "Dandruff," or soem other adulty cell, would probably also be viable if sufficiently advanced medical technology was applied. Thus, since both require advanced medtech... both are equally viable, and botha re thus equally deservign of protection.

According to your logic, that is.
