I've been looking at fake pictures of the fetus on religious extremist sites and was wondering where I might find the above question in scripture?
And when does a pancake become a pancake? An egg and flour have the potential to become a pancake, but it's not really a pancake. When you add all the ingredients of flour, milk, and eggs, it's still not a pancake....it's only batter. It becomes a pancake when the cook decides it's cooked and ready.
To say a fetus is human, is the same as calling the batter a pancake.
Sperm has the potential of creating a human life. A hair has the potential of creating a human life, given potential cloning techniques.
(I'm just pointing out the silliness of this argument)
A potential baby becomes a baby when and if the mother decides it so....when the fetus can live on it's own, right around the neighborhood of 7 months of gestation.
