00:00In the UK for example, they allow embryos to be harvested for research provided the
00:06embryos are not allowed to live beyond 14 days.
00:10They say after 14 days it is possible that they will gain life.
00:14So if the experiment continues even after 14 days then it means that you are experimenting
00:20with the living being.
00:21So arbitrarily they have said till 14 days is fine, till 14 days is fine you are non-living
00:26and we can experiment with non-living things.
00:28But after 14 days, probably life has come, from where will life come?
00:33If it is alive, it is always alive, if it is not, it would never be.
00:38Similarly the whole thing around the abortion debate, when can we call the fetus as living?
00:47Somebody says n number of weeks, somebody says no n plus 4 number of weeks, 3 months, 4 months,
00:52all kinds of debates are raging.
00:57How can something become suddenly conscious?
01:03You are always conscious or you are not conscious, at all there has to be a continuity.
