Sentience refers to its ability to be aware of itself as an entity

Pop em all on the chopping block it's all the same

scientists say that life begins at conception

^

so there is that

@Jack of Trades So basically, the mother has the ability to determine when that thing is a person?

None of you have passed the turing test tbh

Shim, IIRC, I link to it in the article (part 2) but I can't recall of the top of my head, I wanna say 12 weeks

@Boop / 브파 / C'thUwU no they don't

Life is continuoud

It never starts or stops, it's ongoing

I am unsure if many are truly sentient even now

@Chuckler Isn't that to determine if an AI is close enough to human?

Yes you failed

key word "close enough"

If a human isnt close to a human is it human?

Shut up

faggot

How do we see mirrors if our eyes arnt real

But then who was phone?

@Scale_e no, have you not been listening? It doesn't matter if it's a person. I grant you that it's a person. The child could be 5, dying of kidney failure and you can't expect me to give up my kidney to save my child. Youre confusing moral virtue for moral obligation

Also how can you make a festus take a turning test? Shove a computer up some cunt's vagina?

@ShimShamWhamBam this is why im not giving Will Smith my money

From the article I cited:

@ShimShamWhamBam clever wordplay

Need spaff into open grave during a seance

@Marushia Dark well?

It gets the ju ju going

So, as per our current scientific and philosophical understanding of consciousness, anything before 12 weeks is permissible, IMO

I don't see the point of sentience as being the stop light, because it's not like the fetus is going to remember or even care about what's happening up until the baby has grown to 4 years of age when memory develops

After that, it becomes a grey area

Any religious folk amongst us?

@Marushia Dark yes, but do you consent to bukkake?

Yep

@Chuckler doesn't matter. We don't make laws based on superstitions and they don't want to start making laws based on mine.

Roe, it's about whether or not something can be said to have a right to life, which if it's not sentient, it can't even really be considered a human life.

In between concepts such as that "magic" lies

@Win Roe so where have you been all my life since we last talked bitch faggot?

IDK

how many degenrates have you nailed to a cross?

I've been busy
