Okay. It is a new life. I agree with that. But it is not a new individual human being (yet)? It can bud like a jellyfish and it has no mind?
By this argument, terminating a stem cell line living in a petri dish is a murder (because it is a life of its own, with its unique genetic identity)?
And the motivation can be more noble than that, say, removing defects (compare the Spartans throwing deformed babies from a cliff, THAT is a murder) [edit: case in point - https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-54642108], or getting embryonic stem cells.
