I would support, but the completionists would get all twitchy if this was added. When there's a slab variant of something, there is always a stair variant, and maybe a wall/fence variant. This idea would be cool, but glowstone stairs would be weird.
It would be cool to have buildings with glowstone slabs, and certainly more compact, too. I don't see why not.
Support
Though next time you may want to use the "small suggestions" thread that is always pinned for any tiny suggestion too small to go in a seperate thread.

I don't even play Minecraft much anymore yet here I am on the Minecraft forums for some reason...
slabs (and especially stairs) do not block light (or let it pass) well, actually, light generating slabs might behave better than existing slabs...
still the suggestion feels unnatural to me because glowstone is a crude naturally-generated block and wouldn't look good as a floor decoration (to me). if this were about sea lantern slabs, i'd say support. it is a decoration block and would look ok as a floor lightning.
I won't necessarily give a response, because this idea is rather small and could be discussed furthure on. But the idea of having slabs give off light is quite interesting, it could make, hiding light rather easier.

Basically this. Glowstone would look horrendously ugly as a slab. Put light producing slabs would add a neat mechanic. Partial Support.
I think this is a good block idea and should be easy to code in to the game. My idea is a glow stone half slab hope I see it soon
I don't see why this needs to be added TBH.
NO SUPPORT
We do actually need a half slab lighting block. Don't know if glowstone would be suitable but
Semi sort of support a bit

I've been waiting for this for so long, and I would love to see it in the new 1.9 version! I hope they add it!
Full support. o3o
I don't see glowstone as a material that'd keep its shape in such a way. It doesn't fit my concept of what can be a slab.
