As someone who has had cancer and has had (well, fathered) children, I personally find the difference between the two to be pretty vast. Given a choice between the two, I think I like the latter a fair bit better. Now, if you wish to think of that lump of cells as a cancer that will ruin your life, I won't stop you or anyone else. And frankly, seeing as fertilization clinics toss more embryos than they place, I personally support stem cell research. But seeing as there's a great deal more *potential* in a freshly fertilized egg then there is in cancer cells, I'd think it would make sense that some people would not see it that way. But if you lack the human insight to see why *some* people might not agree with you, I don't know that there's really any point in trying to explain it to you.
