Dear Senator Brownback:
If my embryos are indeed the "youngest of human lives" then please introduce legislation which will allow me to acquire Social Security Numbers for them so that I might claim them - all ten of them - as dependents on my federal tax return. There are an estimated 400,000 frozen embryos in the US. That's a lot of deductions. Money we infertiles could use for further treatment.
Thank you.

That is a BRILLIANT way to look at things. I adore you & your humor!
You know, if this actually happened though I would freak out because it would bestow legal personhood on all the little four-cellers, and that would open up a whole can of worms wouldn't it. No, all joking aside I can live without the deductions. But just for once I'd like to see people follow their thoughts through to the logically consistent conclusion before going off half-cocked. (Like I myself, if I follow my little snark to Sen. Brownback through to the logical conclusion, would have to back off the whole idea immediately.)
Ahhhh this is perfect!
I have to add you to my side bar, since I seem to get caught up and miss all these yummy posts.
