More debate on status of the human embryo

“Think of the way that you might speak to a child who asks ‘is this how I began?’ And the simple answer from a parent is ‘yes, this is how you began, how I began’.

“That is a fundamental intuition. An embryo can’t be separated from our development as a human being, can’t just be seen as a mass of cells. There is something deeply wrong with that view.”

The Age, a publication out of Australia, covers the current debate in that Nation, in “Cells of Division, Cells of Hope,” by Jo Chandler and Karen Kissane.

(There’s a glaring error: Utah’s Senator Orrin Hatch is called a Catholic.)
