I don't see how this fits into our discussion about fetuses having a seperate set of DNA from their mothers, therefore not being a body part or tumor of their mother.
No. I'm trying to understand your thinking on this subject. First, you argue that being made of human DNA makes you human. Then you argue that it has to be unique DNA. I'm confused about your view on this.
And, you still haven't answered my other question about being force to become someone's dialysis...
My argument is very simple:
A human fetus is a human being because she/he is an entity with human DNA. A human fetus is also not a tumor/cyst/body part of the mother because it has a separate set of DNA from that of the mother. That's just simple, basic biology.
Now, what is your question again?
"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."
