The human fetus is the same animal, the same creature, the same organism from conception to death. No one argues that.
From the "Compromise on abortion" thread;
Does everyone agree with myself and Rivrrat that a new person's life "biologically" begins at the moment of their conception?
Yes or no?
Some are some are not.
Your point?
It's a factor in deciding when life begins.
I guess my point is that what is alive is subjective... really what we are asking is if that life has value to the person being asked. I personally think a sperm is alive, so is an egg. They are cells even if they are haploid. Everything in your body is a living thing.
Are sperm not alive?
If you think so, do your factoring and vote.
Yes, but sperm, taken alone, cannot become an individual human entity.
I haven't voted because I still cannot come up with an answer. I've spent quite some time contemplating this question, which really boils down to, "What life is sacred?" The answers to these questions have significant and, at times, life-changing implications. They deserve more thought than I've had time to give...
Yes, but sperm, taken alone, cannot become an individual human entity.
That is true, but each individual sperm contains the potential for human life.
For the sake of argument, neither can a fertilized egg. It requires a host in which to develop
Every single one of us kills living bacteria in incredible quantities every single day without even noticing. We value sentience and anthropomorphism, not merely being alive.
I'm personally not willing to give up my saliva and hydrochloric acid so that micro-organisms may live.
No,.. what I am asking in the poll is whether or not a single human being's
life "biologically" begins at conception.
Asked another way,.. when do they start biologically aging?
So then you don't really value life. You value some life.
Like I said, everything that lives requires that something else is sacrificed. My body kills and/or eats what it needs to survive. Those little microbes are doing the same thing. It just depends on which of us wins.
