<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial">T’Mur raised an eyebrow. Although she has consumed eggs with Sienna they still have a meat sense to them. Sienna had expressed several times that they were not considered meat until they fully matured into whatever
animals they would become, for example chickens, so they did not count as a meat. But in T’Mur’s mind that was purely a matter of timing. At best she would consider them as… pre-meat. She could not imagine it being acceptable to consume human embryos. </span></p>
