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.

They may also draw a distinction for themselves between "not allowing a potential life to develop" and "destroying that potential life."
I don't think it makes sense either...
