This is the claim I was responding to

If an arm, or a tumor, or the hair we unceremoniously leave on the salon floor aren't examples of human beings, then why is a fetus, a clone or an identical twin any different?
You also never answered (or I missed it) my question about forcing people to have other people hooked up to them as a form of dialysis. Since the right to life trumps all other rights...
If I missed it, please do point it out.
Well that is what I meant. I thought it was implied.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
