Yes it is.



No.



There is one monolithic difference between a sperm/ a stem cell/ an unfertilised egg and a zygote.

The first lot will not become people if left to their own devices, if things remain exactly as they are.

A Zygote could.



I don't care about laws in the US or anywhere else for that matter.

Oh, now you're adding additional criteria. "Left to it's own devices." Tell me then why the religious right is opposed to using frozen, fertilized eggs in stem cell research? Such fertilized eggs won't become an actual person if "left to their own devices."

All you're doing is coming up with arbitrary criteria for what should or shouldn't be protected. Nothing in the U.S. Constitution requires that "potential life" be protected. Nothing. So you're in essence telling us that because certain arbitrary criteria make sense to you, the state should be able to impose severe restrictions on the freedoms of those who have a different belief system. I see this situation as exactly analogous to imposing a set of religious beliefs on those who don't believe.
