Prove it - take a cell from anywhere in your body other than the reproductive organs and make a person out of it. We'll wait.
Why just the parents, when the whole of society is affected by the 40 million lives lost to abortion?
The whole of society is not effected.
Society is unaffected by 40 million absent lives? I'll let your statement speak for itself.
See the section on how to clone.
Note that the problems with human cloning are not insurmountable and if a human clone did exist, they would be an individual person.
"Society is unaffected by 40 million absent lives?"
It's more affected by the gazillions that weren't born, because women have simply refused to stay barefoot and pregnant. It's also affected by the closed borders and the gazillions that would otherwise be frolicing around la-di-da and producing all sorts of joyous fruits. If not for these population effects, blessed suffering would flourish and be enjoyed throughout the land.
A petri dish full of embryos is not a pool of people. The parents can choose one that they intend will become their child.
The cells in the following are also not people.
"Recent reports demonstrate that somatic mouse cells can be directly converted to other mature cell types by using combined expression of defined factors. Here we show that the same strategy can be applied to human embryonic and postnatal fibroblasts. By overexpression of the transcription factors Ascl1, Brn2, and Myt1l, human fibroblasts were efficiently converted to functional neurons. We also demonstrate that the converted neurons can be directed toward distinct functional neurotransmitter phenotypes when the appropriate transcriptional cues are provided together with the three conversion factors. By combining expression of the three conversion factors with expression of two genes involved in dopamine neuron generation, Lmx1a and FoxA2, we could direct the phenotype of the converted cells toward dopaminergic neurons. Such subtype-specific induced neurons derived from human somatic cells could be valuable for disease modeling and cell replacement therapy."
