Are Embryos Haraam????

So according to you a fertilized egg in vitro would be just like a fetus?? but not a could be fetus...therefore its an abortion?? And even if it were to be considered as such...it certainly wouldnt concern you..since you are no muslim...so this debate was not intended for the likes of you and quite frankly there is no room even for a fart to enter.

There is a debate and we are past which one came first the chicken or the egg, so get over it and join or just dont. We are at the embryos now...capisci??

Anyways...I knew all along that you neither add nor substract anything meaningful into any debate we ever had in snet...but I was trying to direct you to the correct lane at least once..well too bad...Good luck and Good night.

PS To clarify for you and for the rest:

The term embryo refers to the early stages of development, after the zygote(the resultant cell of the sperm and egg fertilization) has divided at least once, but before the process has completed to produce a new individual.

Cawar,

When does life beging according to Islam? Isn't at conception, when sperm fertilizes the egg?

Embryo is fertilized egg, killing it according to Islam is killing a human being. That is WHY stem cell research (this is still developing field, in the future we may be able to go around the problem by extracting the stem cells without destroying the embryo) is HARAAM in Islam.

I as an atheist don't think life begins at conception but that's beside the point. What matters is what Islam says.

BINGO!!!

You said the magic term: ZYGOTE.


Why are you arguing with me then?


If life begins at conception, stem cell research would be haraam since you'd be destoying human life (embyros). But my question is this: Allah who creates life already destroys every 2/3 fertilized eggs, why is he let of the hook? Why don't anti-abortionist protest against Allah and/or bomb his abortion clinics. Why the double standards?

[Cawar]

Why did it take you so long to come back to your senses and after having my hands go through all that banging on your semi empty skull of yours??

Was it that hard to answer in this way??

Isnt this the reason why i asked and opened the whole thread for?? Cajiib!!


"When does life beging according to Islam? Isn't at conception, when sperm fertilizes the egg?"

The whole thing is in vitro...so this is where the debate gets better if you will. But if you read carefuly what I wrote earlier we wouldnt be in this mess...life begins at 4 months according to islam(not sure) although the heart(a mere pumb) starts functioning around the 4th-5th wk of gestation.

As for the Xaraam and Xalaal part...thats why we are debating...so stick with what you think, cos what you know abt islam is really irrelevant to all of us muslims.


PS you mention Zygote without adding this :"but before the process has completed to produce a new individual".

[Cawar]

And just when I thought you finally made some sense...you went back to your old routine of uttering full rubbish.

As they say:

"Biyona ma dhamaadaan, Qaxbana weligeed ma towba keento".

Embryo


Def. In humans, the prefetal product of conception from implantation through the eighth week of development!


I personally am pro--stem cell research.The Embryo cannot be classified as 'life'---. I say WHY not.

"The Embryo cannot be classified as 'life'"

According to who shiekh Basra??

You didnt give it much of a thought did you??
