When does human life begin?

When does human life begin?​

According to experts, somewhere around three billion years ago.

Some people don't agree with science.
Some people want to pretend that whole things are really separated into pieces.
Some people want to pretend that we don't make life and death decisions all the time.
Some people maintain the false equivalence of the decision to avoid bringing a pregnancy to term with murder.
Some people knowingly allow what they call murder to take place without going to the site and stopping it.
Some people want their minority to dominate.

Okay, but not a person, really...

DNA says otherwise.

History has shown dehumanizing human life is a slippery slope.

DNA says otherwise.

What can DNA do that is human?

What can DNA do that is human?

DNA defines specific persons.

Thus proving that at conception a new specific person has come into existence. One that has never existed before and will never exist again.

So it is unique DNA that makes us human, not our brains?

So it is unique DNA that makes us human, not our brains?

It's DNA that determines and identifies us as unique, specific human beings.

That's why they use DNA and not MRI's of brains in criminal cases as evidence

I dunno about human, but think a little electricity to the brain could make us more moral.

 

[Faun]

Science makes it clear too....

...at conception.

How is one alive without a heart, brain and other organs needed to sustain life?

We also use fingerprints and retinal scans. Do they deserve protection?

Let us know how that works for you. I'm very curious.

Not sure, but you’re living proof.

You don’t think well.

 

[alang1216]

You don’t think well.

You don't answer questions well. Or at all actually. You're not even very good at ad hominins.

Okay, but not a person, really. And the mother comes first

The baby isn't making any decision to murder its mother. The "mother" is making the decision to murder a unique human life.

 

[alang1216]

The baby isn't making any decision to murder its mother. The "mother" is making the decision to murder a unique human life.

So if the mother's health is endangered by the pregnancy you're OK with an abortion?

It's all part of the human life cycle which begins at conception and ends at death. Every stage along that continuum is fully human with the appropriate attributes for that particular stage of the continuum.

"An individual human life begins at conception when a sperm cell from the father fuses with an egg cell from the mother, to form a new cell, the zygote, the first embryonic stage. The zygote grows and divides into two daughter cells, each of which grows and divides into two grand-daughter cells, and this cell growth/division process continues on, over and over again. The zygote is the start of a biological continuum that automatically grows and develops, passing gradually and sequentially through the stages we call foetus, baby, child, adult, old person and ending eventually in death. The full genetic instructions to guide the development of the continuum, in interaction with its environment, are present in the zygote. Every stage along the continuum is biologically human and each point along the continuum has the full human properties appropriate to that point."

DNA, fingerprints, retinal scans, etc. are artifacts of being human. It's humans that deserve protection, not the artifacts.

I didn't say that.

What percentage of babies in the womb actually NEED TO BE KILLED to save the life of the mother? Look it up. The answer will surprise you. You're grasping at straws to defend the "right" to kill babies.

If a woman actually has the imaginary health issues you describe, she needs to get herself sterilized so she can safely spread her legs to any man she desires

So it is just tough luck for those mothers whose lives are legitimately threatened by a pregnancy? Your misogyny shows you care about the unborn but care nothing for those already born. Nice.
