>Whether it is 10 cells or whether zillions, its still a life form. It may be more deserving since it cannot protect itself. Just like a child abuse is more horrific.< Do you eat? We must kill to live- whether it is plants we kill or animals. Every step we take we squash something and kill it, every breath we take we inhale something and kill it, the laws against murder are, imo, a convenient covenant between social animals that they will not kill each other- because all have a desire to live. That would include 90 year olds- I am not clear on your reasoning for bringing the 90 year old in. Clearly I will be 90 someday, and as i do not wish someone to off me, I would not endorse the killing of 90 year olds. I do however fully support the right of people to kill themselves. I have absolutely no problem with that whatsoever as it is an individual choice. But for me murder has to be of a human, and a bundle of cells that may become a human, is not human enough for me. With cloning all the cells in your body are potential new humans- so reverence for the human cell could get a little silly.
