Human life begins in bright flash of light as a sperm meets an egg, scientists have shown for the first time, after capturing the astonishing ‘fireworks’ on film.

An explosion of tiny sparks erupts from the egg at the exact moment of conception.

Scientists had seen the phenomenon occur in other animals but it is the first time is has been also shown to happen in humans.

When life begins...

Fact.

“All of biology starts at the time of fertilization...” -- Professor Teresa Woodruff

To pre-meditatively end that human life after this point? It's murder.

Like in many, too-many cases -- government and the law just need to catch up.

But they will.

Just because the biology starts at that point does not mean that a human life, for purposes of legal protection, has begun. And to the extent that rights should be granted, those rights - like all rights - have to be weighed against the rights of other human beings. And specifically, in this case, the rights of the mother trump most governmental interests in protecting the "biology" inside of her.

So? Who cares when life begins inside of another human being? It's still that other human being's right to abort it if she so desires.

The egg and sperm are alive, biologically active before fertilization occurs.

Only at fertilization does the process to develop into a human starts

Where was this in dispute and how does it relate to abortion?

In your unqualified and uneducated opinion. Of course you are welcome to live by it

You mean regress. No that will not happen.

Trying to argue that "life begins" as equal to "a human being exists" is the fundamental problem with Pro-life arguments, as I have pointed out time and again.

One might as well ague:

Proof that Light Bulbs are Human Beings!

Must be the same for Frogs, Sharks, and Every Other Creature Born of Insemination!

That is why the older ones burn out....
 
If someone wears a condom that doesn't happen,eh?

I always enjoy a nice dose of pro-choice rationalization. :popcorn2:
 
Ridicule, relativistic twaddle, and irrational rationalizations...

Just as I suspected...

They are not living organisms separately, but they become a living organism upon fertilization.

Thank you.

An egg is alive, so are sperm. Sperm moves on their own to move to the egg. If the sperm was not alive they would not be able to move.

A dead egg would not be possible to fertilize.

Nothing is wrong with the argument. If the human life cycle begins at fertilization then that is when they become human beings.

Tell us how you've arrived at valuing a zygote more than a born women bearing that zygote?

Umm...No.

However, you are already aware of this from all the prior arguments in all the other threads on this topic in this forum.

The fact that you choose to believe otherwise? Not proof a human being exists at the moment of fertilization. :shrug:
 
I'm hardly wrong. If however you feel like rationalizing it away then just know that i have plenty of popcorn.

There's a few hundred active members in DP who would quickly disagree with what you've just said.
