Shawn condescends and adds a little misdirection of his own (Denys would be
proud of you):

"thank you, you've now just confirmed what started this conversation.  Wirts
incorrect and inflammatory statements about the state of stem cell
research.  I was wondering if anyone would pick up on it.  So 1 point for
figuring it out and -1 point for not knowing that an embryo is a fertilized
egg."

As long as we're keeping score, that's -1 for childishly whining "Wirt did
it first!", -1 for doing the same thing he did (hasn't anyone every told
you that 2 wrongs don't make a right?), and -1 for not knowing the
difference between an embryo and a baby.

Now, just a question: eventually some of the embryos you are so adamant
about not "killing" will have to be destroyed anyway.  Would you then
charge the person(s) that destroyed them with murder?  Will you say they
have to be maintained for eternity?

I also find it incredibly illogical that those who want to protect these
embryos are usually in favor of the death penalty.  So much for the
sanctity of life.
