Frozen human embryos "not life forms" . . .

. . . declares S.Korean court: "South Korea's Constitutional Court has ruled that human embryos left over from fertility treatment are not life forms and can be used for research or destroyed, a court spokesman said Friday." On whose authority? On its own authority. Now that's really credible, is it not? This is what "public reasoning" has come to in the name of scientific advancement: the abnegation of reason.

And note: "Following the ruling, shares related to stem-cell research surged on the local market." Thusly, the "good" is defined by sheer reference to "desire" and party "interest." Dictatorship of Relativism run amok.

  1. That Korean court's presiding judge must be Humpty-Dumpty. Really, if embryonic humans are not "life forms," why would anyone want to use them for research? They're no good to Dr. Frankenstein and Dr. Mengele if they're dead.
