Simply stating that human embryos aren't life doesn't make them so. You need to demonstrate that they are not life. Most of human tradition would contend that they are. I contend they are. And I vote.
But if I need some extra cells, or an organ, is it ok if I just take yours? Thanks.
Well, what if a process were created in which you could find any person (e.g. a bum on the street), steal his organs or spine and use it to replace your friend's?
Would my proximity to a person with SCI mean that I would advocate this?
Sounds like you allow emotions to cloud your judgement. If something is wrong, it's wrong no matter who you know.
Just because stealing organs from some people would help others, it doesn't make it right.
Human embryos, like the infirm, deserve our protection. What you are advocating is on par with cannibalism.

I, for one, welcome our new Wal-Mart overlords.
How did this get modded "Funny"? I didn't laugh.
