I know a way that we can settle the issue about whether embryos in the
early stages are "persons." Let's select a human being, a squirrel, a dog,
a giraffe, a camel, a pig, a horse, an elephant, and a tiger and put them
all into a line-up and see if Ron and Claire can identify the human being.
I'm sure they would have no trouble doing this, so after they have made the
identification, we will display a week old embryo of each of the above
species and see if they can identify the human embryo. If they can't,
what would that do to their claim that a human is a human from the
moment of conception, a squirrel is a squirrel from the moment of
conception, etc., etc., etc.?

Is that what you would call the scientific method, basing your
conclusions on what can be determined entirely by the naked eye. Do you
believe there is really no difference between these? Then there MUST be
a God who magically transforms these identical embryos so that humans
embryos are not accidentally born as giraffes! Or maybe you think its
the embryo fairy!
