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.?


RON
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!
