What is your alternative to abortion?

[fr0d0]

I don't consider one, two, four or eight cells to be a human being, though it has the potential, which leads me to this..

What???

Even though the sperm and egg are haploid, they all consist of the data needed to program a human, so any egg wasted in a period, any sperms that are ejaculated are just as much worth to me as the diploid egg/sperm cell. If life is in the sperm and the egg and no potential life should be wasted, having menses or ejaculating definitely falls into that category.

Thanks for your post Kaye.

I think there's a difference between potential in sperm and egg separately, and a combined human blueprint of fertilised egg.

That blueprint contained a person who's history just began. It's individuality already established. Termination from this point ends that course of events.

I can't get interested in taking the subject so far as to say that masturbation is murder, though I note that some do. The natural life of sperm and eggs is massively unproductive given the odds of success.
