Thats a gamete, not even a zygote

I think thats taking it too far m8

sperm isn't even its own thing

It is lol, it has human dna

mother nature installs a safety switch for when things go horribly wrong, which they did for eons.
4 weeks is when you discover your toes and 4 wks after birth is when cognative awareness kicks in.
That's when it would be cruel.

Its literally not a human being unless it has the independent DNA of both of its parents

Human DNA how does that not = human?

Because it's not independent of its parents

Well just as youd say a human cell isnt a human being

Like a nerve cell is a part of a human

GG @Sauropithicus, you just advanced to level 2!

more or less, sure.

But a zygote is an actual independent human

sperm contains half of the person's dna

or at least will become one, depending on your view

The egg is female at first and the sperm is male, when the sperm enters the egg there is a little mini game known as 8 ball and a decision is made on whether the chromosomes will be in favor of producing a male embryo of a female.

wow that was a description

@wuzamarine So when is it like moral to abort

you gave like a super vague answer I feel

@Sauropithicus It can become one if it is carried to term and born with some amount of viability. Do we do a census that includes fetuses? No. Neither does the medical community consider a pregnant woman a mother.

@Sauropithicus A zygote has a 'chance' to be a human. Only after a high risk proceedure.
You don't torture somebody over a chance.

Ok

When is it ok to abort

4 weeks

why

cognative awareness

How do we know

Also

when the kid discovers their toes

How is that not totally arbitrary

Thats when they become aware

Thats when there is a memory to lose

And?

That's still arbitrary

you have no reasoning for it

Well 4 weeks seems very specific

Why not after or before 4 weeks?

because of brain function

And why is cognative *awareness* the line of morality

that's for him to answer

GG @Deleted User, you just advanced to level 5!
