Are you serious? Man, what are they not teaching in schools?
It isn't an opinion it is a fact. Prior to fertilization there isn't a human being, they don't exist. Once fertilized and cells divide, that's the starting point of a new human being. That's it, right there, that's the starting point. Again, how do you not know this? Those beginning cells, from the start, are a separate individual from the mother, own dna, unique one of a kind. This is how a new human being is made. Always.
Well, at least you will admit that an un implanted zygote is not a separate person, are willing to at least wait until cell division before you make your claim. Some right wingers want to claim it starts at inception which could be at the point of buying her that first drink. Actually, the mothers gnome controls the cell division for quite a while during the first stages of gestation. The clump of cells has no idea what or how to develop without control of the host organism. At that point , the cell group is nothing more than an undifferentiated clump of cells, and will not, in fact, can not differentiate in any particular way without direction given by the host organism's hormonal control. That point is well past the initial cell division stage. At some point, it does become a separate organism, but not at conception, or the first cell division. I ask again.....On what do you base your claim of a separate human life at the first cell division?
Inception? I don't think so, Tim.
Asked and answered, one more shot and if you still don't understand pov, well ... I can't make it any clearer to you. When the cells divide, that is the start of a new human being. Prior to those cells dividing, that new human didn't exist; after the first cells divide? THAT POINT, THAT DIVISION is the very first step of development of a human being. I base my claim on common sense. Everything has a beginning, a starting point, the very first step ... cell division is the first step in making a new human therefore, that's when a new human being is created/comes into being/starts its existence. That it isn't as developed as, say, an 8 week old embryo or a 9 month old fetus or a 1 year old born human doesn't make it any less human, it just makes it less developed ... but still a human being.
I build wooden clocks as a hobby. The first step is to decide on a design. That design is certainly not a clock. The first step in producing a child could be a romantic evening. There are many steps to both, but the first step is far from the point at which you can reasonably say you have actually created anything. If you claim you believe what you do for religious reasons, I'll believe you. I won't agree with your belief, but I will believe you. To say you believe cell division defines a separate human life because of proven medical facts, just doesn't have the evidence to back it up.
So now you're basically admitting that there is an 'intelligent design' behind human existence!! Good for you! You can't make this shit up!!! lol
Who compares building a clock to creating life? Seriously?
Ha, ha I thought the clock comparison was so far out of bounds that I ignored it. Same with the 'romantic evening' line. Dodgeball seems to be a game they're fond of!
Sorry to have used an analogy you didn't understand, but that doesn't mean it wasn't pertinent and valid.
