Poor horses. They have to put up with an abusive interweb.

True. But can the guy with a pistol kill the tank? Only if he's Mattias Nilsson.

It's bad enough they go home to abusive husbands.
"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."—former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman

My cell has exact same DNA as me, does that mean it is a person?

· Because an undeveloped foetus is unable to think. It has no thoughts, emotions, etc. which make a person a person.
· Because an amputated arm is not a person.

Not a baby, a fetus. Stop appealing to emotion.

Also, just because a fetus is biologically human doesn't mean it's a person. Or are you claiming that HeLa cells are persons now?
