sorry, I can't agree. First of all, if we are talking test tubes, there are no possibly conflicting rights of the mother. So the issue is purely whether we have cells or a human life. I say that at five or six days it's a few cells, but I can see how people might feel otherwise.
My position also gives rise to the difficult question of when the cells do become a human life exactly, and I admit that I don't have a good answer. However, your position leads to the contention that all ova have a right to be born, and I like that even less.
