TP, I don't believe that you have any plans to take care of the unwanted potential population. Lots of couples out there willing to adopt babies. Those that are left over will have to take care of them, and that will be at a significant cost to society, but it can be done. Have you, for example, drawn up any plans to adopt the 500,000 frozen embryos in U.S. invitro clinics that are scheduled to be put in the dumpster? I think you are all slogan and no action on that front. Talk about a strawman. Why create all those "embryos" in the first place? Seems like we need to revisit the whole procedure for in vitro fertilization, along with the medical ethics associated with it. There really is a clear distinction between those already born and developed enough to be self-aware from those not yet born. There is also a clear distinction between a real living human inside a mother's womb and the skin cells you shave off your face. You're only drawing distinctions to fit your world view, then blurring those distinctions that you don't see fit. Then you call it "nuance," but I call it the moral dangers of post-modern relativism. Like I hinted at before, it's not a very far distance to travel before human life itself is devalued. Tenchusatsu
