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
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!
Because thats after cognative awareness kicks in.
You're just not catching this.
Who cares?
No I get that
Who cares about cognitive awareness?
@Sauropithicus formation of a functioning nervous system and organs, brain activity, heartbeat. The vast majority of abortions are done before any of that. I would argue for exceptions if the Festus is severely defected.
Why does that matter?
Why is cognative awareness significant
You said memory?
