It is LIFE with potential.
This is clearly the only view tenable by recent scientific evidence.
See the following link which fully addresses the question from an up-to-date scientific perspecitve as of October 2008:

What else can I help you with?
What is a viable embryo?
A viable embryo is an embryo that has the potential to develop into a healthy offspring under normal conditions. This typically means it has successfully reached a developmental stage where it can be transferred or implanted into a uterus to continue its growth into a fetus.
What is inside an olive seed?
my sweet heart also the embryo of an olive tree, and some food for the embryo to consume when and if it is able to start growing.
How do different groups have different views of the stem cells?
The definition of a stem cell is not in question - it is a living cell taken from a living human that has the potential to become multiple different types of cells. The controversy is over embryonic stem cells - stem cells extracted from embryos. The removal of these cells causes the embryo to become non-viable and die. Some individuals feel this is acceptable - the embryos are not going to be implanted into a woman's uterus, so they are going to die anyway when they are discarded as medical waste. Further, the embryos are simply potential human life, but only if they are implanted into a uterus and carried through a nine-month pregnancy. At the time the stem cells are collected, the embryo is a potential human life, but does not have the same moral standing as a human adult. The information and potential treatments that can be derived from these tissues may save millions of lives. Other individuals feel this is unacceptable - the harvesting of stem cells causes the embryo to die, thus becomes equated with murder. To these individuals, the embryo is morally the same as an adult human, with the attendant right to life and to not be destroyed involuntarily for medical research.
Why spirogyra is included in algae?
It is eukariyotic Photosynthetic Found in water Do not have an embryo in life cycle
What is the germ of a seed?
The germ of a seed is the embryo or immature plant within the seed that has the potential to grow into a new plant. It contains the genetic material needed for growth and development.
Is an embryo tissue?
No, an embryo is not simply tissue. An embryo is a developing organism in the early stages of growth and differentiation. It has the potential to develop into a complex organism with individual characteristics.
Is an embryo alive?
Whether an embryo is considered "alive" can depend on the definition of life being used. From a scientific standpoint, an embryo is a developing organism with the potential to grow into a living being. It contains the necessary genetic material and cellular processes to support its growth and development.
What are some animals that don't start life as embryo?
Lower animals including Protozoa don't start life as embryo.
How long can an embryo survive outside the womb?
It cannot. An embryo is completely reliant on its mother for life.
Why do some people disagree with embryo screening?
people disagree with embryo screening because after finding out if their embryo has a genetic disorder (e.g cystic fibrosis or Huntington's disease) they may wish to abort it. the procedure may also cause possible harm to the mother or child.
How is a human embryo and a egg embryo alike?
Both human embryo and egg embryo are early stages of development in their respective organisms. They both consist of a small cluster of cells dividing and multiplying rapidly. These embryos have the potential to develop into more complex structures over time.
A kernel of corn contains an embryo plant that is capable of becoming a complex plant with roots stalks leaves and ears of corn This potential reflects which property of life?
This reflects the property of life known as growth and development, which refers to the ability of organisms to increase in complexity and size over time through a series of stages or processes. In the case of the kernel of corn, the embryo plant has the potential to develop into a complex plant with various structures and functions.
What is the relationship between fetus and embryo?
The embryo is the first stage of a baby's life then after 12 weeks it is called a fetus.
What is a young plant growing within a seed called?
A young plant growing within a seed is called an embryo. This embryo has the potential to develop and grow into a mature plant under the right conditions, such as moisture, warmth, and nutrients.
What is a viable embryo?
A viable embryo is an embryo that has the potential to develop into a healthy offspring under normal conditions. This typically means it has successfully reached a developmental stage where it can be transferred or implanted into a uterus to continue its growth into a fetus.
What is inside an olive seed?
my sweet heart also the embryo of an olive tree, and some food for the embryo to consume when and if it is able to start growing.
How are seed and embryo related?
An embryo is formed from the fertilization of the egg and contains the genetic material needed for a new plant to grow. The embryo is a key component of a seed, along with stored nutrients and a protective seed coat. So, seed contains an embryo which has the potential to develop into a new plant.
