Let me hear your thoughts on all threelegally, physically or psychologically?
Legally, at birth, except in cases when the child is killed against the mother volition while in utero. Physically, as soon as the egg and sperm have combined, at least at the genetic level. Psychologically would be once it starts reacting to external stimuli.Let me hear your thoughts on all three
Because until birth, a fetus does not have bodily sovereignty.And please explain why, not just give a A or B answer.
What about frozen embreyos?Because until birth, a fetus does not have bodily sovereignty.
Nope.What about frozen embreyos?
What are the attributes?It would have to attain all, or at least most, of the attributes of a homo sapiens.
Siamese twins don't have bodily sovereigntyNope.
They don't have bodily sovereignty, either.
No. And it's common practice these days for doctors- with parents' approval- to surgically separate them, sacrificing the weaker if necessary.Siamese twins don't have bodily sovereignty
Because this thread's new, I'm going to risk interrupting by asking a question. Would a Pro-Life advocate please tell me if he/she believes that using an IUD is an abortion? Or birth control pills? (Technically, they both are.)When do you a human being is a human being? The moment it becomes a zygote or the moment it is conceived?
I know I'm going on a tangent but, sacrificing the weaker?!! Who would have the heart to do that. Is this before or after they are born?No. And it's common practice these days for doctors- with parents' approval- to surgically separate them, sacrificing the weaker if necessary.

I'm not against contraception, I don't feel that preventing life from commencing is anything close to terminating a life that has commenced.Because this thread's new, I'm going to risk interrupting by asking a question.

Re this thread, my opinion is that a human being is a human being at several months into gestation. I'm not exactly sure when that would be because I haven't done my homework. So I can't pick from OP's two options.
If they aren't separated, they are humans forced to live under inhuman and inhumane conditions, without human rights or bodily sovereignty, and are better off dead.And if they aren't separated they aren't human beings?
As long as the method does not prevent the zygote from going its normal course. If it prevents the sperm from joining the egg, in my eyes, that method is perfectly fine.Because this thread's new, I'm going to risk interrupting by asking a question.
