When life begins: Hmm...to be honest, I feel like life begins before conception, just from a Biblical point of view. I'm not really sure how that would translate to when an embryo becomes a person. The more I think about it, it seems like I would need to have a strong stance either way, either from the very first moment or not until the moment of birth. I feel pretty torn about the issue, myself. Maybe it's all morality and we shouldn't legislate morality...or maybe it's murder...and we should legislate morality, at least to some point. I see where both sides come from...and I agree with them both...and there is very little middle-ground to hold to, from a religious/moral stand-point. Wow. I guess the point is that I don't consider it a scientific issue. (I learn so much about what I think about things by commenting on your online journal entries, Smacky.)
