that means that unprotected sex doesn't necessarily end up with the woman impregnated
Brain activity does not occur until after the first trimester, can we then agree that it is not alive nor having potential until the second trimester??
yes
yee
No, because, once again, if left unimpeded, brain activity would begin
well i mean it has potential of life
But, it has the potential to then have potential
Your stance is not potential then
but potential of life can also be, as komrade said, lost in menstruation/'jerking off'
I've defined potential as beginning the moment a zygote is formed, numerous times. I'm not really sure what you're getting at
Define potential
I just did in the sentence above....

I've defined potential as beginning the moment a zygote is formed
And previous to this, multiple timems
but sperm and egg has potential
Potential, in this context, would be the ability for a human to form if natural processes, beginning with the formation of a zygote, are left unimpeded
they have potential to become zygote
And we're back to square one, smh
they have potential to become potential lmao
yea
Ok, but I don't care about the potential to become potential
The potential argument is a continuous regression
so that's still potential, it's just less potential
I only care about potential
but everything has potential
I would consider killing a potential life a regression, komrade, but to each their own
sperm is potential for potential
everything is lol ashna
Okay, what if the zygote impedes on the mother's potential
potential for potential for life = potential for life
As in, the fetus could eventually harm the mother?
Like some sort of pregnancy complication?
ye
what if the mother knows the child has no potential
Yes, both economically, socially, and medically
thomas no
youchie
For example a teen pregnancy has less potential to get the job they want or to continue in their life
You would then be impeding on the mom's potential
Medically yes, if the mother's life is at risk then the fetus would be unviable anyway, and even if you could save the fetus while killing the mother I think that a current life has precedent over potential life
