I was in the middle of a long-winded discussion of this point over at alt.music.rush , and even some of the more sensible people tried to dissemble that exact point.

Whether a fertilized egg is alive is a red herring. There are lots of things that are alive but don't deserve legal protection. There are lots of things that have human DNA and are alive, but don't deserve legal protection.
the_andrew_sm...@yahoo.com, my dear, dear friend, there was this time, oh, 8/20/2008 10:40 AM, or thereabouts, when you let the following craziness loose on Usenet:

The red sawce they use at Mark's Feed Store in Louisville <<<<<< ketchup. Just plain bland and boring, even what they considered their hot sauce. Maybe someone had systematically gone through and swapped the labels on all the bottles.

All I can say is, "What Atrios said."
"Believe what you want, but the important question for politicians is how such things get translated into... policy. And when McCain says he believes life begins at conception (cheer!) it's pretty meaningless unless he's asked to explain how that would be translated into policy. Are blastocysts entitled to child support? Do all late periods need to be reported to the Ministry of Health? And, of course, my favorite: Are those who implant multiple embryos during IVF treatments, knowing full well that most will die, guilty of negligent manslaughter?"
