Shouldn't future cloned people have a right to life?!!!

The logical conclusion to the "logic" of pro-lifers is brought out by this test: With cloning technology, all healthy skin cells are candidates for becoming cloned beings. All being have a right to life. Henceforth the fat doctors will cease murdering skin cells by cutting off "excess" live tissue after completing liposuction. Since no scientist has yet to clone new animals from fat cells, fat cells do not qualify for the "cloning test" for what constitutes life and can continue going down the drain... What do you think, thinkers? Steve Slaton P.S. Thanks to Rollo1 for the inspiration of this discussion.

Most of those hippies are worried about their 401Ks and their retirement.

well, I view cells as just cells until they are into a fertized egg. I am at 6s and 7s about frozen embros, haven't quite decided how to go with those, after all, they won't develop into a baby without a womb.

Overall, I think one needs to frame "right to life" in what could happen in the natural world. Thus, any liquid nitrogen frozen tissue ain't natural. Whether contemplating a naturally pregnancy or a fertilized egg by whatever means, I think when gestation has advanced to where the newborn could breath and suckle on their own is where an abortion becomes murder.

Well, I do think it is at conception, but that's conception in the female body, so, I'm conflicted at the frozen ones.
