A political post

Picture 1

Picture 3

One of the above pictures is a human blastocyst, the other is an amoeba. Can you tell the difference? Do you think our President could?

If you put a baby into cryogenic storage, it will die. If you take a blastocyst out of cryogenic storage, it will die. How can you consider something a human life if it dies when you unfreeze it? While I might not agree with it, I can understand why someone considers a developing fetus a human life, but I cannot understand why someone can consider a blastocyst a human life.

(I should give props to the person who thought of the famous violinist argument, but her name has slipped my mind. Arguably I don't have a mind as I am being insomniac at 4:30 am now. I think it's because someone else is using my organs.)
