Stem Cells vs. The Veto

Tony Snow said today that the President thinks "murder is wrong". How can you murder something that isn't exactly alive?
Webster defines "Life" as:
The property or quality that distinguishes living organisms from dead organisms and inanimate matter, manifested in functions such as metabolism, growth, reproduction, and response to stimuli or adaptation to the environment originating from within the organism.
Frozen embryos are inanimate. They do not respond to stimuli, adapt, grow or reproduce. They aren't alive.
Does the President, as Snow Job indicates, think that the destruction of frozen embryos at fertility clinics is murder? Should fertility doctors be prosecuted for destruction of these frozen embryos? Are the parents of these frozen embryos subject to criminal charges when they choose not to implant all their frozen embryos?

Republicans should embrace stem cell reseach. Maybe a scientist will find identify a gene that can cure Stupidity.
A veto of this bill is a slap in the face of every person suffering from Cancer, Alzheimers, Parkinson's, Paralysis, and other dibilitating diseases.
