I am extremely uncomfortable with embryonic stem cell research because
it can give incentives to create embryos for the purpose of
destruction.  It also seems illogical to say that something isn't
human until it leaves the womb and then has full rights.  If it is
legal and ethical to remove and kill a fetus even if it could survive
independently, why is infanticide illegal and/or unethical?
