Theists use this sort of fallacious appeals to authority all the time, it's the difference between an objective scientific view, and the subjective view of someone who happens to be a scientist.(March 27, 2025 at 11:29 pm)The Architect Of Fate Wrote: None of this refutes my point
1. Merely having human DNA doesn't make something fully human
2. Being unique doesn't make it fully human
3. Saying if given time to develop again doesn't immediately make it fully human
So this entire post is moot as it in no way refutes my point that zygote aren't fully human and only potentially human
We have already determined they are human by scientific definition of the American College of Pediatrics;
Anyone claiming a microscopic clump of insentient cells is a child, as you did, or a fully formed human, is not expressing a scientific view, and it is risible nonsense to boot.
Do you need to see the photos again?

A zygote is a single cell formed by the fusion of sperm and egg, about 0.7 mm in diameter, while a blastocyst, a later stage of development, is a hollow ball of cells about 0.1-0.2 mm in diameter, roughly the size of a pinhead.
Every time you try to describe this as a child or a human being, you are making your ludicrous bias more obvious. granting rights to a zygote or blastocyst, that we would never ever grant to a fully formed human being, namely to use someone else's body against their will, is also laughable. The right to life simply never extends to hijacking someone else's body, and enslaving them, by taking away their bodily autonomy.
