So I've noticed. Also, I see Godwin's law strikes again. I'll back up to the last remotely relavent arguement I saw, which was whether a sperm and an egg are alive. Which is barely relevent, since it would be very hard to classify them as dead. The relevent question would be, is it a life seperate from the parents. The problems arise for the exact same reason they do with my original question, which is that the concept of a life, a person, a human being, becomes so incredibly vague when you apply it to a microscopic level. A single cell in any form is so far removed from what we think of as a person that trying to label this or that as a human life becomes a matter of pure feelings. That reduces all arguements on the matter to "I think this", "Well I think this". And that's where Hitler lurks.
