I'm not a Roman Catholic, by the way.

Is the life conceived through union of male human gamete and female human gamete, human life? Is there arguably an 'individual' status we may assign (or individuals, in the case of identical twins or more arising from the first cell of fecundation) to the conceptus? Is that individual life adapted (in form and function) for existence and survival as per its environment at that age? Can we reasonably expect the conceptus to continue surviving if the requisite environmental conditions continue unabated at that age/functioning capacity? Does any other living species exit the womb (as per the continuum argument having human concetion at the beginning) of the human female? Finally, does the conceptus, as it develops from single cell through zygote and then embryo age, create its own capsule that protects it from tissue rejection by the host's life supporting body ... does the conceptus function to survive, whether willfully (as in dicision making) or otherwise?

Cloning will be cool... imagine women who are honest, beautiful, phermonically programmed to be attracted to you, cook, clean. It can be a scientific solution to feminism.
