How many times does it have to be said that Embryologists explicitly disagree with you???? Every human being begins at conception, and a blastocyst contains cells that carry on and develop into the fetal stage, and some that the new human being uses to create the placenta needed for his/her survival! There doesn't have to be a "conscious decision" when it is a natural progression. you seem to be getting more and more confused. - - - Updated - - - "personhood" is a term invented by pro aborts for no other purpose than to try to justify slaughter! "life" of a new human being is what is important, and it clearly begins at conception. Otherwise why would pro aborts feel the need to invent a new term and try their best to define it as allowing for wanton homicide of the unborn! "
not at all confused, though you do seem to be. Tell me how do you distinguish between the cells in a blastocyst to know which will eventually become the embryo and which will become the placenta, if, as you insist, that a "human being" is created at the moment of conception, then every cell in the blastocyst is also a "human being" regardless of what it will become. Really, I didn't know they had pro-choicers in 1878, which is when the word "personhood" is first recorded. life as in "The condition that distinguishes animals and plants from inorganic matter, including the capacity for growth, reproduction", that covers a whole range of things and is not exclusive to human beings. As already shown "pro-aborts" didn't invent "personhood", its been around since 1878.
Right? This is why I went back to playing my online MMO. Only PVP and PVE fights for me. So sick of online debates withering down to, "You suck!" "No you suck!" =P
