Dude, you like opening cans of worms con't you? Your gonna get everything from the "It's human/person from the get go." to "When it can survive outside the womb without artificial life support." to the moment of natural birth and everything in between. Then the whole religion crowd is gonna bust into the thread and argue the religious POV. Then there will be members attacking members, guys like me who don't really care and just make smart ass comments, and then a mod will lock it after a few warnings.
So I'll be the first to post this: IBTL!!!!!!!!!! |

Valkryie and Bill, go piss off. If you can't even answer the question, go troll some other thread. This thread is not about whether abortion is morally bankrupt/ legal in God's eyes, or if abortion docters should be shot.
Just a simple question, when do you believe a fetus becomes a human?
edit: osprey can piss off, also. : )

To complete a circle, you must have a straight line that touches a curve at only one point.
Sorry my mind went off track. So I thought about it in a tangential form. As in. When does a caterpillar become a butterfly? Some say; when it emerges from a cocoon that it developes in. Some say; when it is developing in the cocoon. I don't know! So I'll keep watching on this one. |

To try to prevent it from becoming a crazy fighting thread, just post what you think in response to the question. If you want to go off on a tangent, start a nother thread. question: At what point does a "fetus/living mass that will become a human/zygote" become a human with all the rights that humans that have been born have? give reasons for your answer, and think about legal, biological, and other types of reasons besides philosophical/ religous.

My somewhat tounge in cheek response is this, it depends on it's parents social status and their abilities and wants.
If the parents are unable to support it, it is not a human life up until natural birth. If the parents can support it and provide for all of it's needs, then it is a human life whenever the parents decide it is. This way, poor people can be convinced of the societal benefits of an abortion right up until natural birth. People who can afford the child can decide at any time to keep or abort it. I truley do not understand why this is an issue for anyone but the woman who may be pregnant. I especially do not understand why any man would think they had *any* sort of "right" to decide for a woman whether she keeps or aborts a fetus. Of course, if the men who are so willing to exercise absolute control over another sentinent being like that would be willing to place their nuts on the line, I might go along with it. Any guy who wants to force a woman to carry a fetus, in which she is unwilling to do so, ought to be willing to have his testicles surgically removed. It proves his seriousness, it incapacitates him from procreating any more life and places him on par with the women with whom he somehow has decided that he can control. Somehow, I don't think we will see any of the crazed-anti men so willing to give up their teticles to save those poor murdered babies. Do you? |

Because the egg and sperm both come from a human "IT" is "Human" even before the egg and sperm come together. Now if you're asking "When should "IT" be given the Rights that people in the real world enjoy?" then you could get 100 different answers depending on who you talk to. By Jewish Law a child isn't "alive" until it draws it's first breath of air. Adam, the first man, created by God, wasn't "alive" until God breathed the breath of life into him.
Another question that you could ask these "Modern Christians" that believe in the "imortality of the soul" is "At what point does this "soul" enter into a person?" If we are truly imortal(which I don't believe, only God is imortal.)then our "soul" has had to have exsisted from all eternity past. Where is it before we're born and when does it come into our body? |

You're not going to get anyone to divorce their opinion on abortion from their opinion on when a fetus becomes a human. Then you'll also get the xtian crowd that can't keep from thumping their bible in hypocritical fashion over and over. |

Hey has anyone seen Last Samurai yet ? How was it. I hear its ok except for Tom Cruise.
Kinda like that "Paycheck" movie John Wo directing a story that sounds like a dream movie for me, til you add Ben Aflek. For those who don't know PKD his novels and short stories were turned into Blade Runner, Total Recal, and Minority Report (another movies that would of been better without Tom Cruise).

One thing is for sure, as far as US law is concerned, it will never be considered a person until it is actually born. Why, you might ask? Very simple, the IRS. If it is considered a person after 3 months in the womb, six months or whatever, then it will have to be considered a deduction at that point.

How So Eric? Why should you have a say over another persons body? 'I' may not, but society may have its say over another person's body. Think incarceration, capital punishment, just to mention the really big instances when society says to an individual...'this is what happens to you when....' And what of my example to you of the woman with the healthy 35-week 'fetus' that is only a week or so away from delivery? Did you give an answer to that? Why not? Don't tell me that you think that society has no rights respecting that woman's body even if the 'fetus' is dangling from the birth canal! I understand that you have a religous motivation to beleive that you are correct in your assertations, but try to divorce yourself from the religous viewpoint This is one area where I do not insist that my personal religious views must dictate human society. If it were, then no abortion would be permissible, not even in cases of rape and incest. So save your anti-religious screed for the moment and pay attention. why should one person be able to dictate to another person the medical procedures that they have performed on their own body? We are a society with the right to dictate norms of behavior and to reward and punish folks for living within or without those norms, respectively. I can see that you must support 'gay marriage' for what right can society have in preventing two adult males the right to engage in such an endeavor. I counter by saying that society has every right to define its institutions and that marriage can be defined by a society in a way that prevents same-sex marriages. Easy enough?

The biological definition of "Life" is "The property or quality that distinguishes living organisms from dead organisms and inanimate matter, manifested in functions such as metabolism, growth... and response to stimuli."1 Since the unborn baby has a metabolism, grows, and can react to stimuli, it by definition has life.
Does a fertilized egg fit that definition? |

Hielo, your example is foolish. Since NY has a pretty good crime rate, maybe you should get a vasectemy to avoid your future children being murdered?
As for jewish law, there is a lot of debate on the subject. I believe that now the ZOG is debating whether a fetus is viable before or after graduation from medical school. |
