Frozen human embryos ‘not life forms’: S.Korean court
South Korean court rules that Human Embryos are not human if they are frozen and not implanted.
Anyone who is targeted for killing can be labeled as non-human, whether or not this meshes with biological realities.
For example, there could be a courtĀ rulingĀ or legislative edict that putting on a robe and holding a gavel renders one a monkey, and not a human, and therefore a suitable subject for medical experimentation.
