An embryo has not yet become alive. A person on life support is someone who is alive, has been alive, but has become ill and unable to survive without medical intervention. That device can help them regain health and live again.
My personal opinion BTW is that someone who was, say, in an accident and needs life support to heal enough to again live without it is right, but putting someone in a coma on life support as a vegetable is not right. But it's hard to determine who will recover, who will not. -Ben > > I can deny life begins at conception and I can do it with > > logic. Can the collection of cells live outside of the > > mother?
