Quote:2. if your nose picking wasn't earmarked for cloning, it would be a waste product just like all of the dead human cells shed every day. It isn't inherently a human being the same as a fertilised egg is.I said "scratch your nose". Or any other skin on your body. These are live cells that could be used for cloning. Potential being means nothing. What's important is what is, not what might be perhaps one day.
Quote:3. definitely right now would get you a jail sentence. maybe is an ethical issue that you can't dodge.What ethical issue?
Quote:Another very poor argument.
You should notice that I said "justifiable".
Why is it justifiable to punish a child for what the father did?
If it really is a living being, then it should be unacceptable to murder a child for being the offspring of a rapist.
