I am curious, are you saying that the value of life is determined
by its size?

Clarification: my comment was actually designed to make a point, yours
was mere churlishness.  A blastocyst is comprised of 30-150 cells, and
occupies only the space of a single pinhead.  It isn't any more
capable of being described as "innocent" or "human" than the zit I pop

if you disagree with me due to religious beliefs, that's fine. 
However, raising the faith flag removes the topic from non-theological
debate. Don't pretend to have rational reasons for believing something
that is really driven by faith.  For what's its worth, even when I was
a Christian, I wouldn't have considered a blastocyst a human, or
capable of innocence.
