Hey help me out here William.  I just don't seem to have the grasp
of Biology you seem to have.  Perhaps its because of my liberal
upbringing, or maybe I just don't have the finely tuned intellect 
that you possess.  
 
Okay so a baby is conceived and to terminate it is to kill of this
genetic blueprint.  I would assume from what you say above that 
terminating this genetic blueprint is a bad thing and something
to be avoided.  Now you also say that sperm and ovum have these
blueprints (I guess though not a complete one).  So wouldn't
masturbation be terminating tons more of these cool blueprints
than abortion ever would be able to.  Even if only killing 
like half the blueprint seems to still prevent the blueprint
from being formed.  As I said, I guess I don't have your firm
grasp of Biology, and I'm sure you have considered this but
just failed to mention it in your above dissertation.  
 
As you say above, wouldn't masturbation terminate the opportunity
for this baby that may be a genius, or a baby that may have found
a cure for AIDS (Though I would think the odds are much higher
that an adult will find a cure for AIDS).

How can we understand this logic when you keep trying to confuse
us.  Up in your first paragraph you say: "Millions of sperm with
millions of blueprints and millions of ovums with millions of
blueprints are floating in their respective ovaries and vesicles."
Now you seem to be changing your story.  Can an individual blueprint
exist with out its parts?  Please keeper of all this infallible
logic, please help us ignorant slobs understand this question.

Now there is a firm grasp of simple logic.
