Negative Losty,

A fetus by itself is a human being....not a potential human being...but an actual one.

My exact reason for saying person and not human being. Reading comprehension love

I already knew you were going to say that, that is why I didn't say human being. You see, to be a human being
Human- of human DNA
Being- a real or imaginary living creature
Easy

To be a person requires sentience.

I was going to comment on your reading comprehension but decided to refrain.....out of politeness. If you go back an look at our exchange you will see I made a point about "human beings"...then you tried to refute that point by talking about "persons". You are guilty of poor reading comprehension at best....or purposely changing the goal posts at worst.

A sperm is as much a potential human being as a tire is a potential car. A tire by itself has no potential to be a car and a sperm by itself has no potential to be a human being. Claims that masturbation kills future human beings are rubbish.

Eh, it's no more or less rubbish than lots of other religious claims. My point is that the line is drawn at a point that is very convenient for men, which is not surprising in male-dominated societies.

And parenthood is a lifetime job genius not a 18 year old one.

You seem to have completely missed the point. Where in my post did I state or imply anything about parenthood?

They don't draw the line conveniently. They draw the line where the rules of the universe put it. A human being....comes into existence at conception.
