There's no question that the collection of fetal stem cells ends the existence of a form of life. The question is whether that form of life is deserving of legal protection and that is not a scientific question. It is a metaphysical question.
I disagree with the position that life gains a status worthy of protection at conception but it is a defensible position. Certainly more so than one that attempts to create a fuzzy line somewhere between conception and delivery for when legal protections begin to attach.
