It's not my position, it's just a position that I am clarifying so that I can understand the issues. And that position would say that all embryos (i.e., *fertilized* eggs), not all ova, are human life. As for conflicting rights, that positon would say this: If a woman knowingly gives up eggs for fertilization then she is responsible for those fertilized eggs. The same is true for a man. Again, there's no logical difference between fertilization in the womb and in the test tube. If she knowingly fertilizes an egg she has no intention of bringing to term, then she's negligent at a minimum. Further, if someone uses eggs, unknown to the mother, to create a fertilized egg then they are responsible for bringing the embryo to term. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/message.cfm/forumid:5/messageid:211710 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
