@acarson can we agree that embryos are human beings?

@DavidGoldfield No, they're embryos, which develop into fetuses, which then develop into human beings. Christians should absolutely be free to practice their religion as they see fit, they are absolutely not free to compel the rest of us to practice their religion.

@acarson Amanda, we actually agree that no one should impose their religious beliefs on others. I'm actually not looking at this issue from a religious perspective but from the perspective of science. You say that embryos are not human beings? What, then, do you believe they are? Are they not human embryos even according to science? If you don't consider a human embryo to be a human being then when do you believe that transition occurs? I realize that we may likely have to eventually end this by agreeing to disagree and I'm certainly willing to do that. I mean no hostility toward you or even about this issue.
