94. tt's not just a clump of cells.......
Edited on Fri Aug-21-09 11:45 AM by deep1
Even when it is a single fertilized cell, the fetus already has its own life principle and
its own genetic makeup. This tiny clump of cells is a uniquely distinct individual who, with only
the addition of time and nutrition, will develop into a mature human being. The only significant
difference between a fetus and a fifty-year-old is a few years and meals!

Plain and simple.


At one time, you also were just a clump of cells”. How important those cells were
for you! Yeah, you are just GROWTH. LMAO


As for your argument about a fetus being parasitic on its mother. How many two-year-olds can live on their own without food and care from their parents? Even as adults, we depend upon others to help keep us alive. But we are still human.
If being dependent means not being human, then toddlers, the handicapped, the injured, the
sick, and the aged could all be killed on demand.


Your argument is so unethical and has no human emotion. Slavery was legal and lasted centuries in this country. Many things are legal but still wrong.
