Laws

Follow the science is a popular phrase these days but it has limitations. According to science, life begins at conception when the sperm meets the egg and then those living cells grow into a human being. The courts have ruled that the growing cells are living but they are not a person until after birth. Science says, Embryos are whole human beings, at the early stage of their maturation. The term 'embryo', similar to the terms 'infant' and 'adolescent', refers to a determinate and enduring organism at a particular stage of development. Just as you and I once were infants, so too you and I once were embryos. It is often said that we are a country of laws and when laws conflict with science, laws win.
