Where's the lie steen
In the claim that ssomething that lacks the structures that defines a fetus is somehow called a fetus.
most of this thread is other's words.
And I don't care, it still doesn't meet the requirement for being a fetus.

No steen....it's not that it doesn't fit the definition of "fetus," it doesn't fit YOUR definition of fetus.

Whats YOUR description of a fetus then? Hrm?

Well....probably the same as steen's....except that he seems to indicate that in the case of a partial mole, which developes from the placental portion of the conceptus somehow negates the "fetal" status of the developing "thing" in the mother's womb. I say it is a human, albeit with severe deformities. Steen denies it is anything.

My contention is that human life begins at conception--so, even if the fertilized ovum never develops past the zygote stage, it was a human that died. Nonetheless, some partial moles develop beyond that stage and do in fact reach the fetal stage of development.

Here is a picture. You can clearly SEE the baby! (Caution: it's not pretty...)

Obviously not, as you see a fetus in the partial mole while I don't.

A fetus is the CONSINUATION of development after the embryonic stage, per the actual depositiong of the foundations of all major organ systems in the embryo. THAT is what makes it a fetus. So until you can show the foundation of all major organ systems in the partial mole, the claim of the partial mole fetus is simply ignorant nonsense.

Nope, you have not read carefully enough. It is negated by not having the structures necessary for it to fit the definition of a fetus.
I say it is a human, albeit with severe deformities.
And yes, that still is incredibly stupid.
Steen denies it is anything.
Nope. Why do you need to lie about my posts?
My contention is that human life begins at conception--so, even if the fertilized ovum never develops past the zygote stage, it was a human that died.
Which Aslo means that you claim the complete hydatidiform mole to be a human life. After all, it is the result of conception.
Nonetheless, some partial moles develop beyond that stage and do in fact reach the fetal stage of development.
Another false claim, as they do never have the structures necessary for them to be fetuses.
Here is a picture. You can clearly SEE the baby! (Caution: it's not pretty...)
There isn't a "baby" unitl aftre birth. You are again back to the spewing of deceptive, revisionist linguistic, prolife hyperbole.
A quote from that site:
" No embryo formation "
Without an embryo formation, it is not possible to form a fetus.
I am still not seeing the documentation there of all the major organ systems having been laid down. Could you direct me to the evidence of this process?

The lengths you are going to to avoid having to admit you are wrong--or just shut up--is AMAZING! That is in the description for moles in general--note that "partial mole" is clarified. Haven't you asked your doctor friends about what they think--or are you too embarrassed?

Human life begins at CONCEPTION. There is CONCEPTION of human life in a partial molar pregnancy. Your bias against extremely deformed human beings is YOUR problem.
 
Just thought I'd keep this thread up to date with relevant exchanges from another thread....



The odyssey and evolution of steen’s mole argument....

Quote:
there is never a developing embryo to begin with.


Not so...what would you call a statement such as this? I can PROVE it’s false. I assume you are simply mistaken, but you would call a statement such as yours above A LIE (and probably write it in big red letters, to boot!).

Even if no embryo remnant can be found at the time the mole aborts or is delivered, the presence of typical nucleated embryonic erythroblasts in the molar villi indicates that an embryo was present. On rare occasions, an abnormal fetus is delivered. Source: The Journal of the American Medical Association, Feb. 16,1994. Volume 271 (p498L) http://www.goshen.edu/bio/dvert/refe...l#hydatidiform




Quote:
The fetus is what originates upon the maturity of the embryo per the laying down the foundation of organ structures



Okay....and....???



Quote:
And again, as the structures never even undergo a proper folding, it really isn't ever a blastocyst, let alone an embryo or a fetus.

Oh,....but that’s not so is it, steen. Again, does that make you a LIAR? Or merely mistaken?



Quote:
Actually, the elements going into the formation of the zygote are alive themselves. So your claim is still false.


Red herring...(and piteously transparent at that!). You darn well know we are talking about “individual human life”—you verbal gyrations notwithstanding.


Quote:
fetal tissue is what developes at the end of the embryonic stage per the laying down of all major organ systems.


Would you care to speculate as to why reference after reputable reference I supplied in that thread refer to “fetal” structures? The whole medical world is wrong but YOU? I doubt it.



Quote:
Why? They are not making false claims about embryos.


Oh....so you changed your mind about the presence of embryos? Is that an admission of your error?


Quote:
It points out that cells with NORMAL genetic material, such as that after a miscarriage, or per remaining placental tissue after birth can develop into a fetus.

(I think you meant “can develop into a MOLE”)



Quote:
A fetus is a very specific entity with all the major organ system foundations laid down. Such structures are not uniformly laid down in either a partial, nor a complete hydatidiform mole.


So, why are all these sources “lying” steen? What’s the agenda???

“I don’t care” says it all...

The fact is, all you care about is preserving your narcissistic mirage. You’re in the psych field....does the description of the Narcissist feel like you’re reading your autobiography?



Quote:

Do you mean conTinuation? So you mean development occurs on a fashion where one developmental stage follows another? Like after the fetal stage comes the neonate stage, then infant, toddler, etc...? Yes...I agree then...


Quote:

And as your sig. line notes—I said a partial mole because it is a unique individual. Talk about revisionist linguistics—SPIN, baby, SPIN....

Back to that eh....well...that is so for a complete mole...BUT NOT for a partial mole and you KNOW it despite all your denial!
 
......:cheers: .......
*bump* for the benefit of our friend steen.....
 
None of you have the slightest idea what you're talking about. Allow me to explain...


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mole_(animal)

Case closed!
 
Wow. Thank you for clearing that up, steen. I couldn't have done it without you...
 
steen said:
So is that a partial mole...or a complete mole...(ethereal...I know yours is a "common" mole :lol: )

Remeber, steen...I already linked to PARTIAL mole pics....

...but even so...even if the baby wasn't able to be CLEARLY seen...in a mass that is a partial mole--there once was an INDIVIDUAL HUMAN LIFE there...:roll:
 
bump...


He mentioned the moles again...:roll:
 
and mentioned again... :2bump:
 
Sorry...another bump is necessary... :shock:
 
Steen is really on a "twist the pro-life words and give only partial responses so as to be enigmatic and purposefully confusing" roll these days....



I ignored it for a while but he keeps pushing the "mole" stance and isn't being honest about it...so here we bump again....
