Pinging, m'Lady. I've ceased trying to be 'nice' about this, calling it what it is, CANNIBALISM. Alas, I write op-eds and essays and submit them to Newsweek and WSJ, Opinion column, but get rejected for not being PC. Glad to see you're having better success, m'Lady.

Every embryo, no matter where conceived, is an individual human lifetime begun. The stage/age of being an embryo is one of a myriad of natural ages for the individual along the continuum of that individual human lifetime. To conceive then kill and harvest the body parts of the individual humans thusly conceived is cannibalism as surely as if you ate their body parts in order to treat your medical malady. Therapeutic cloning is cannibalism.

Think carefully, because your choice could affect your ownership of your own life and body. Your body may become tomorrows source of body parts. Living donors are possible today for those who need livers, kidneys and skin, as well as the more easily obtained (and replaced) bone marrow and blood, and for half of us, oocytes. The quality of life of so many could be saved if the State had the power to allocate these resources, which you dont actually need to live. What is your bodily integrity and comfort compared to the misery of someone dying for the want of your cells and organs?
Bump.
