At which point does a package of DNA or an embryo cease to become that and actually become a life? I know the argument would probably be when it is capable of conscious thought but plants aren't capable of that yet they are still alive. also, if you are declared medically "brain dead" you're also not capable of conscious thought but the idea of experimenting on someone in this condition is unacceptable. On the other hand could you tell the mother or father of a terminally ill child that you can do nothing because of this sort of moral argument? I'm normally very proud of my opinions and stubborn with it but this is an area that I really don't know which way to go on and I pity those who do have to decide policy on this sort of thing because it's a no win situation.
