line that says this is a human and that isn't. Yes, I know that is is commonly held that many women miscarry without ever knowing they are pregnant (although I have never seen an original source for that statement.) Also, I don't worry about the loss of eggs or sperm. I wouldn't dare tell an infertile couple not to try in vitro insemination. I have no idea what to do with all the embryos now on ice.
That said, some might call me a fundy for not being whole heartedly in favor of deriving stem cells from embryos. For the record, I want to state that obtaining stem cells from amniotic fluid sounds like a great idea that sidesteps any moral quandaries.
