It's all in the name

Satirist Liberal Larry is having a "contest" to help the pro-assisted suicide group Compassion and Choices come up with a "more effective euphemism" for doctor assisted suicide that "doesn't carry any negative baggage."

Here are some of my favorites from the commenters:

Achieving Carbon Neutrality
Facilitated Elective Permanent Metabolic Retrogression
Shutting Down Safely
Voluntary Food Chain Demotion.

I'd like to propose my own "contest" to help those in favor of embryonic stem cell research and human cloning come up with new term/names for human embryos (regular or cloned) since Serge has ruthlessly destroyed pseudointellectual Irving Weissman's contributions of "pseudozygote" and "embryoid blastocysts."

Here are some of my ideas:
Unfertilized oocytic organisms
Brain-free stem cell vessels
Somatic cell nuclear transfer by-products
