Madam, - Dick Ahlstrom writes (Innovation supplement, December 10th) that the destruction of early-stage human embryos "incensed conservative and religious groups, [ which] viewed it as the murder of potential human life".
The fallacy is obvious in Mr Ahlstrom's own language. These are human embryos - tiny human beings, not potential human beings. - Yours, etc,
