Whose Rights?
I was reading about Pope Benedict's latest proclamation (read here). He believes "that embryos developed for in vitro fertilization deserve the same right to life as fetuses, children and adults — and that that right extends to embryos even before they are transferred into a woman's womb." that right? The embryos need a woman's womb to develop which happens to be attached to a woman with her own right to life. Unless a woman chooses to carry a fetus to term (always with the possibility of medical complications and death) those embryos are doomed. What is the pope proposing--forced implantations?
He goes on: "The love of God doesn't make any difference between the newly conceived, still in the womb of his mother, and the baby, or the young person, or the mature man or the old man," he said. "He doesn't make the distinction because in each of them he sees his own image and similarity." So God is just a bunch of cells floating around up there somewhere?
