You equate those two as equal. I do not in the scientific context being discussed here.

I have made no such assertion. But I do believe embryos have some value, because they are human. How much value is the question. You appear to believe they have zero value.

Since I believe they have some value, then I have to consider the difference between that value and the value of the potential of the results of the scientific research. How many embryos equal one adult human life? How many embryos are we willing to sacrifice in the pursuit of knowledge? Is the research valuable enough that we are willing to take the embryos by force? Is the research valuable enough that we are willing to pay for it with taxpayer money? To raise taxes for it?

I am still considering all the questions above.

But the biology is clear. Life begins at fertilization. And that life is human.

Those are cold, hard facts.
