So now the mere existence of DNA constitutes a human.

It's a fertilized egg, that's all. So I take it you are also a fan of cloning and stem cell research. Good for you.

Evidently you didn't understand it. He doesn't get to put forward his own candidates, he has to select from a list given to him.

What's imaginary? Most embryos aren't used. If they are kept indefinitely and used long after their parents are dead, you and your ideology are the one messing with the natural order of things. The notion that a mere fertilized egg constitutes a person is absurd.

How many millions are you going to store? You realize that you could be altering history by using embryos left by people who were dead decades ago.

You obviously didn't bother to read the link I posted or look at the list of board members and who appoints them. The process is nothing like the US system.

That isn't what I asked. It's you who are insisting they be kept so what are you going to do with them. If the state insists they be kept forever, the state should be responsible for storing them forever.

Supreme court justices are appointed by the PM from a list provided by and Independent advisory board, the chairman of which is a former Progressive Conservative PM. https://fja-cmf.gc.ca/scc-csc/2021/index-eng.html

So what are you going to do with them because they will never be used.

https://www.geneticsandsociety.org/article/17-million-human-embryos-created-ivf-thrown-away That was between 1991 and 2012. How many do you think since then?

What happens when that backlog reaches billions?

Did you bother to read the link? You should start dealing with reality.

So how many millions of them do you let pile up over the decades? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6911130/

What do you do with them if no one wants them?

You can’t force anyone to use them.

So do you keep them forever? You can’t force anyone to use them.

So what about IVF? A couple has a bunch of eggs fertilized and the embryos frozen for the future but for some reason they don’t get used. What then?

Too late, a modern society can’t function without it. Obviously there isn’t enough redundancy in our infrastructure to cope with one system going down.

Very well, stay in your bubble convinced the rest of the world has got it wrong.

Ya, a lot of it is but carry on killing each other and making excuses for it.

They don't have the same kind of access in other countries. FYI, the US is not the only country with mentally ill people.

So why don't you do that. And while you are at it, do more to stop giving them the tools to commit mass murders.

Yes it is a people problem. People who worship guns and think they are some kind of solution to their problems.

We’ll make up your mind, you either have too many guns or a shit society. It has been very well explained wh Switzerland has fewer shootings and I have posted it here. Switzerland actually has very few guns per capita compared to the US. Eve Canada has more. https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/gun-ownership-by-country https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estimated_number_of_civilian_guns_per_capita_by_country
