Really, This Is My Last Entry, I Have to Get Back to Work

More objections to my saying that a fetus-embryo may not be “fully human.” People saying, “What is it? Part vegetable?” Come on, now. It is a seedling of a human being. Until a fetus is six weeks old it doesn’t even have a gender. If you believe it to be fully human, you believe it not because of logic or science, but because of BELIEF — which I respect and which is why I don’t think Professor George’s original proposal can do the trick to reconcile opposing views on stem-cell research.
