Hi clo,

I don't count the right to life folks as lunatics simply because they believe what they believe. It's not like the definition of the beginning of life is a measurable phenomenon. You can have it be what you wish it to be depending upon your religion or whatever.

There are competing values in play here. Folks who don't want to compromise aren't susceptible to disproof in this case. It isn't like the intelligent design hypothesis which is obvious nonsense on stilts.

Mississippi Set to Vote on "Personhood" of Fertilized Eggs: Reproduction Technologies at Risk

Marisa Krystian | Nov 02, 2011 | 1min:26sec

State-wide elections in the United States have started to feature ‘personhood’ initiatives, which aim to grant human status at the moment of fertilization, and Mississippi is the next state to vote. On November 8th, Mississippi voters will not only decide who will lead the state, they will also decide whether or not they agree with candidates about the status of embryos. The ballot measure, known as Initiative 26, proposes to amend the state’s constitution to redefine ‘person’ as “every human being from the moment of fertilization, cloning, or the equivalent thereof.”
