The "life begins at X,Y and Z!" arguments are all factual misdemeanors, and quite moot. Life doesn't begin at all for an individual, at conception or otherwise--at no point has anything alive been in a non-living state. That's why it's called a life cycle.

The real issue is personhood--when does a human being become a person? When does a human being stop being a person? That's the crux of the issue for the harvesting of stem cells, IVF issues, abortion and the like.

A blastocyst, which is literally a hollow ball of undifferentiated cells--and the stage from which embryonic stem cell lines are derived, is not a person in any reasonable sense of the word.

So if I may offer a touch of advice to advocates of stem cell research - stop calling it stem cell research! You, my friends, are now on the front line of the War on Terrorble diseases.

Probably one of the best skits in the history of history classes.
