Cloning Yields Human-Rabbit Hybrid Embryo
ralphb writes "Here is the story of scientists in China who have, for the first time, used cloning techniques to create hybrid embryos that contain a mix of DNA from both humans and rabbits. Hop on over for a look!"
If you don't get the reference, don't bother moderating.
I first thought you were speaking of "Gay niggers from outer space".
What fucking planet do you live on that the Holy Grail is an obscure Monty Python movie? I mean, Jesus, you picked one of the most famous scenes in the fucking movie. You may as well have said "I'll bite your legs off!" and called it obscure.
Faggot.
No, people who understand biology, and that a fertilized human egg is a genetically distinct Homo Sapien in its early developmental stage want EMBRYONIC stem cell research stopped for the very simple reason that it involves the ethically damnable practice of farming and harvesting some human beings for the benefit of other human beings.
Anyone who maintains that a fertilized egg is not a human being doesn't know biology, or is lying.
The real issue here is and always has been the philosophy that some human beings are worthy of life, and others aren't, and the people with the power to enforce it are the ones who get to make the decision.
Hitler maintained that only human beings who had certain genetic characteristics were worthy of life.
Pro-abortionists and their ilk maintain that only human beings who have reached a certain stage of development are worthy of life.
Please explain to me the ethical difference in the two positions.
You can tell a great deal about the character of a man by observing those who hate him.
A parasite is a species that lives off another species. You can have exploitive and symbiotic parasitism, but it always involves a host and parasite species.
A human embryo and a human mother are the same species. Therefore, by definition, the human embryo is NOT a parasite.
Birth is a stage in the development of a human being when it can survive independent of the mother. It is NOT the point at which the embryo becomes human. Biologically, that point occurred at conception.
A decomposing body is dead. Comparing them is the logical fallacy of false equivalence.
Your positions are simply factually incorrect. I suggest you read some biology texts.

Biology differs with you. Read a text on sexual reproduction. When the gametes join, a new member of the species has been created. The fertilized egg IS Homo Sapiens. Your position is simply factually incorrect.
Your argument basically boils down to: A human being is worthy of life when it has reached an arbitrarily defined stage of development.
