“Science” can tell us the nature and properties of the human embryo at the ten-day development stage. ... But science cannot tell us the moral value of the embryo. It can’t tell us whether it is ethical or unethical to use nascent human life instrumentally. It can’t tell us whether the lives of the Parkinson’s patient who might benefit from the destruction of the embryo has a greater claim to life than the embryo. That is the role of morality, ethics, religion, and philosophy. nationalreview.com ....................................... "Science tells us the Nature of Reality in progressive stages of discovery. And Reality dictates how we ought to live..." No it doesn't. You're an idiot and an emotional wreck. What "IS" cannot inform what "OUGHT" to be, unless you smuggle in a broader purpose. You do that through emotion and empty moralizing, hoping that nobody notices you are stealing most of your morality from Christian/Jewish religious teachings.
