If you're going to take the moral high ground, at least make it count.You haven't established that anything at all is wrong, including execution and war. You haven't shown that life of any form has an intrinsic value other than the one we choose to place on it.
Well, some people place more value on the existing life of a teenager, and the years of attention and resources that have gone into raising her, than they do on a collection of cells with neither a name nor a brain. So if you're going to take a moral ground of any type, you'll have to explain why someone else needs to place the same value on a fertilized egg that you do.
