?What pro-lifers are missing in the stem-cell debate?

By Alliance Alert

ADVERTISEMENTS

Michael Kinsley writing at Slate: "If you believe that embryos a few days after conception have the same human rights as you or me, killing innocent embryos is obviously intolerable. But do opponents of stem-cell research really believe that? Stem cells test that belief, and sharpen the basic right-to-life question, in a way abortion never has. ... In any particular case, fertility clinics try to produce more embryos than they intend to implant. Then?like the Yale admissions office (only more accurately)?they pick and choose among the candidates, looking for qualities that make for a better human being. ... In short, if embryos are human beings with full human rights, fertility clinics are death camps?with a side order of cold-blooded eugenics. No one who truly believes in the humanity of embryos could possibly think otherwise. ... The better point?the killer point, if you'll pardon the expression?is that if embryos are human beings, the routine practices of fertility clinics are far worse?both in numbers and in criminal intent?than stem-cell research."
