I'm confused. Maybe it was just the presentation of what little "news" on this subject I have been exposed to, but I thought the whole hullaballoo this particular time the subject was hot regards the fact that the embryos being used were not aborted, "waste" material, but were, in fact, made from donated eggs and sperm, and were specifically cultivated for this purpose. This, in turn, brought me to wonder if that fact -- how and why the embryos were made into embryos in the first place -- has any bearing or influence on the feeling/belief that the embryos have an inherent right to life and that life in any form should be revered and preserved at all cost. I expect the knee jerk reaction (you know, the one that must be defended because its invocation is so adamant) to be no, but I still wonder.
