The fact that the cells of my arm do not continue to live on their own if my arm is cut off or if I, as an organism die, means that they are not single-celled organisms. They are part of me, as an organism. They are indisputably human cells and they are indisputably human.

Combining sperm and egg cells to create an embryo inside of you is forcing it inside of you.

No, when you lock someone in your house, you can't call the cops and tell them that they are trespassing. The same principle applies.

Again, negative ghostrider.

BREAKING NEWS!

Recent studies have shown that some people actually have sex for enjoyment, and not to get pregnant. Amazing!

Abortion is "unlocking" the "door" so that the offending individual can kindly GTFO. If that individual walks out the door, directly into traffic, and dies, that doesn't mean it's okay to force everyone else to allow people in their house they don't want there.

By being removed from the womb, which is the specific environment that fetuses are known to survive in, it is quite easy to understand that with incredibly rare circumstances, the unborn will die of exposure. What situation justifies such recklessness to the life (or potential to life, should you claim they are not technically alive without being able to survive independently) of a fetus?

In this case, I'm asking the person I've accidentally let into my house (because I left the door open while setting down the groceries and for some reason they thought they were welcome here) to leave. If they do not leave, then I get to call the cops and have them tossed out.

Except here instead of calling the cops, I'm calling the abortion clinic and having this potential person forcibly removed.

So leaving your door open for some fresh air (having sex for enjoyment) does not make it okay for some random person (the fetus) to come in the house.

No, its more like:
You invite your friend into your house. Your friend brings another friend, so you shoot the other friend since you didn't invite him here and he is trespassing.

The cells in my arm are also not organisms. Instead, they are part of an organism. Thus, they (like the rest of me) are firmly in the kingdom Animalia.

Please go back to high school biology, you clearly didn't pay attention the first time.

However I was wrong about human cells not being Animalia. Thats what I was saying about keratinocytes.

So basically, the cells of my arm are human cells because they're part of a human organism.

Thank you.


The cells on your arm are dead btw. You would not kill them by scratching unless it was deep. But thats besides the point. They are not homo sapiens sapiens, thats the point i was making. A fetus is a homo sapiens sapiens. Your cells don't have a unique genetic makeup different from your own. I like this argument:

A fertilized human embryo has its own unique genetic human signature that is different than that of either of its parents. This shows that it is clearly not additional tissue mass belonging to the mother. The genetic material in each cell of the developing embryo has a unique identity separate from the mother's. Additionally, developing male fetuses have penises, so asserting that they are simply unviable tissue mass belonging to the woman carrying them is problematic, as this would mean that the woman in question has a penis.
