Want to destory embryos? The burden of proof is on you!
From www.deerhuntingpros.com
Actually the reality is the exact opposite. It is the amorality of certain scientists and the pro-embryo destructive crown that is being imposed on the the rest of us sane individuals that know and acknowledge the fact that a human embryo is nascent human life.
When did the burden of proof shift anyway? When did we stop giving living organism of our species the benefit of the doubt? When did it become religious conservatives job to prove that it is a scientific fact that an embryo is a human life?
Doesn't logic dictate that it be the pro-embryo destruction crowd that has to prove beyond a doubt that embryos are NOT human life and therefore subject to experimentation? Doesn't the burden of proof lie with the the embryonic stem cell research and cloning crowd and those that agree? It should.
In another words, if you want to create and destroy embryos for research the burden of proof lies with you to prove that a human embryo, cloned or otherwise, is NOT a living human organism. You want to experiment on human organisms, it should be on you to prove they are not human.
Of course the pro-embryo destructive crowd cannot prove such and so have succeeded in wrongfully shifting the burden of proof onto those of us that want to protect human life. It is time to shift it back.
I often forget to turn the tables on the pro-deathers, but every time I do it, it works. I remember a conversation with a pro-choice friend in college. Granted this was about abortion, but the logic applies. He challenged me, "You can't prove it is a human life." And I replied, "And you can't prove that it is not." He was speechless. (Of course his statement was flat out false, but I think my response drove the point home.)
I am going to dust off this analogy learned from my amazing college philosophy professor, once again to remind myself and all of you that the burden of proof lies not with us, but with those who want to destroy embryos for their parts:
You are hunting in the woods with buddies. You hear a rustle behind you. It could be a deer. It could be one of your buddies. It could be a person. You just do not know. Do you shoot?

With all that is going on in the world, to be so fascinated with what to do with unwanted embryo's is useless.
It is a good thing you were "wanted" when you were an embryo. Or would that have been "useless" to care about you when you were at that stage of development? Does it not bother you to know that your humanity hangs on the "wants" of others?
Good piece. The same argument, that if you are not certain, then you don't kill, is often used with regards to abortion. With, unfortunately, the same effectiveness.
