So pathetic! catfud..go and study biology 101 BASICS .... seriously

What species is a human fetus? Answer the question honestly if you can.

It's human, you dolt. It has human DNA, but that doesn't make it a person. It doesn't even make it an actual human, since not all things that have human DNA are humans; your hair is genetically human, but your hair is not a human.

Kichi's point was never that the fetus magically became a fish, just that physically it has much more in common with those species at that point in development. Given the criteria most rational people use to determine humanity- which you obviously don't use, given that genetic material is all you need to confer human status to a thing- then the fetus would not be human by those criteria.

See, generally speaking, biology wants exactness from its definitions, and your definition of a human- "a human is something with human DNA"- is not only vague, it's a tautology. So you either need to amend your fucking definition, in which case you're in trouble, or you need to keep insisting on the inaccurate one, in which case the argument is over because you're demonstrably wrong.
