The cancer that is killed by chemo is life

[/ QUOTE ]

Cancer is not life, it is a term for uncontrolled cell division.

And I think you really missed the point, that Egocide is specifically referring to a human being. When does a human become a human? When the sperm meets the egg? Or when it takes its first gasp of air? Or where in between? His implication is that when sperm meets egg, it starts becoming a human being, and therefore, is a human being, and that by killing it, you are killing a human being, which is wrong.

That is what I believe, yes. The point is that catholics believe life begins at one point, and some other people are under the impression it starts at another point, but no one really knows (at least in the sense of there not being a way to scientifically prove it). Therefore, it makes sense that we would not want to err on the side of what could be mass murder.
