Christians and most conservatives know this well, but contrary to liberal feminism, human embryos are not “blobs” of cells. The “blobs” idea has been promoted recently as the latest devaluing exercise in favour of abortion, to remove, seemingly, the logical sting that comes from the slaughter of a being with mortal value. Of course, also profiting from abortion is the medical industry, which benefits from foetal cells for lab experiments. The use of embryonic stem cells (ESC) is a notable example.
So, the “blob” idea has its economic background as well. As noted below in an article from Lifenews.com, little benefit has come from ESC research, and much cost: “What does it gain us if we trade the humanity of our fellows for the promise of future medical benefits? Ethical principles are often blunted when a cold utilitarian calculus takes priority over recognizing and respecting this humanity. Slavery, abortion and unethical human experimentation are all enabled by these propagandistic efforts at dehumanization.”
