It makes no sense not to. Cells are not interchangeable. They are functional. One is not as good as another for any given function.

"Why does God kill millions of "babies" quite routinely each month?"

Bland sees you asked this question twice and he failed to answer it both times.

It does seem relevant here for bland to point out that he is not a Christian and he does not believe in an anthropomorphic nursery rhyme god.

That said...bland does believe there is a difference between a natural death (natural abortions, miscarriages would seem to fall under that category) and one that is intentionally brought about by an individual person for purely personal reasons.

Nature creates us and nature kills us all. One can hardly hold nature accountable for those actions. But individual human beings are accountable, and they cannot pretend to be on a par with nature.
