Rant

OK, folks, we're usually silly around here, but now I'm serious, and will type really slowly. This is a blastocyst. It's about two hundred cells (a hollow sphere, you can almost count them). It's smaller than the period at the end of this sentence.

This one's about five days old. There are nearly a half a million of these in IVF clinics in the US that are scheduled to get poured down a drain, unless, with the client's written consent, they get donated to research.

Countless more are formed in womens' bodies as a consequence of the invasive (and somewhat distasteful) medical procedure known as whoopee. More than half of these are shed almost without notice.

Now if your Jesus cares more about this thing than that cancer thingy on my face then you need a new Jesus.
