I disagree with you George, I believe an Embryo is life.  However, let me put that aside a second, and comment on your remark.


If an embryo is the potential for life, and not life, then how do we define life?  Would you conider someone in a vegitative state a person, or the potential to be a person? My fear is that if we say it is ok to destroy the "potential for life" then where do we draw the line?  Would terminal patients one day be ok as test subjects?  Persons on death row (though that might not be a bad idea)?  What about the elderly in nursing homes? 


Even if you don't believe an Embryo is life, but simply the potential, where do you draw the line?
