Yes, from the science of human embyrology we know an unborn child is a human being, created at the moment of conception.
At that moment, a life is created with 46 chromosomes, 23 each from his/her fathers sperm and mothers egg. A form of life with 46 chromosomes is called a human being
The only difference between a human being at that moment, and a human being aged 10, 40, 60 or 80, is time.
And that is also catholic position, therefor if a catholic representative argues in a court of law in a way that contradicts catholic doctrin - he is a hypocrit or his church is.
Quote:The hospital is not arguing any point, its just referring to what the law says: an unborn child is not a person.
The defence is based on the laws own statues, not Catholic doctrine. It is the legal definitions which count in a court-room, not what Catholic doctrine says.
There is no hypocrisy involved.
People are only saying there is, because they want that to be the case!
Take it easy!

There is hypocracy involved because by arguing that way in court they contradict their own policy.
It doesnt matter if they argue simply out of acordance to the law.
They have a certain opinion and they reject it in court to preveil as inocent infront of the legal system.
