RESOLVED: That politicians shall define all scientific terms
Ohyesindeed. Such conflict. Such angst. This is a searing debate. [Sigh.] Brain-taxing, this discussion.
If I may offer some unsolicited yet frank & ernest [sic] advice to Scott Stantis. Don't worry your ugly little head about this issue. It's best to leave this debate up to the deep thinkers who can define what a "human life" is. No, not the scientists. I'm talking about politicians, of course. Politicians shall define for me what is a "human life." If politicians decide on my behalf that a soon-to-be-discarded embryo is a "human life" then goddamnit it's a human life. End. of. Story. The. End. Finis.
Open debate should be left to high school kids to practice in clubs. There certainly isn't a use or need for it in modern American life.

Is heaven filled with discarded embryos used for stem cell research?

Scott probably thinks so.
When one of the judges who voted for "Roe v Wade" died, Scott drew an editorial cartoon with him standing in heaven, with a crowd of aborted featuses. One of them asked (and I'm para-phrasing, BTW) "What trimester were you?".
It's in an editorial cartoon book collection "Taking a Stantis".
