Legal Repercussions of Granting Legal Rights to Embryos

I read a old post done on Feministe entitled "Even More Questions for Pro-Lifers." These questions are interesting because they seem completely irrational or improbable. I mean who would seriously consider giving social security numbers to fertilized eggs, holding women legal responsible for drinking coffee while preggers, or charging men child support for a fertilized egg. I like these all or nothing arguments because they are just as crazy as the pro-lifers who think that a fertilized egg should have the same legal rights as the rest of us.
