I can't make anyone happy (is that the sound of the world's smallest fiddle?). The "protect life from conception" crowd takes exception to my position on when life begins and cloning, and the "abort babies until the day before birth" crowd takes exception to my anti-abortion stance.
I personally feel my position is consistant with what I understand from science, natural rights philosophy, and scripture, and I make no apologies or bones about it. I respect everyone's opinion here, but also have to respectfully disagree. I think we have all stated where we stand, and are getting nowhere on this issue. I have tests all week long, and I'm going to try and get a few hours of sleep before getting up at 4:00 to study more.
God Bless and Good Night
I've played that violin - at least the one about study.
But, in the long run, you will need to find a way to be more consistant about human life than this. Much of medicine may be considered a "grey" area, but the right to life and the physician's duty not to abridge that right is black and white.
If you get a few seconds, take a look at the "sample pages" for Dr. Spitzer's book on Amazon,

and Dianne Irving's articles about embryology. She began her PhD dissertation with the perception that human life was not "human" before 14 days.
Some things in medicine require you to learn your own lessons, but when others are willing to share their experiences, and you can verify their integrity, learn from them.
