I also think killing ANY human is a moral issue

I'm always befuddled by those who support the death penalty and yet profess that human life is the most important thing on earth.

Soros, Do you think that it is murder to destroy a blastocyst embryo that is not used in laboratories when they are left over after attempts to impregnate a woman?

Has anyone ever been able to determine when a lump of tissue becomes a living child? Since it is lawful to dispose of these 3 day old embryo's is it immoral to use them to discover a cure for some of our most terrible diseases like diabetes or heart disease?

We can carry the issue even further by wondering if a man wastes his sperm is he killing what would have eventually been a child? I think the issue is much deeper than most realize.

I abhor late term abortion but often wonder why we should not use 3 day old blastocysts for curing inherited diseases.
