Why I Am Pro-Life

[fr0d0]

A freshly severed human finger is a human "life". It isn't beetle. It isn't a monkey. Living human cells going about their normal processes. And it all contains human DNA.

Unless anyone here is able to prove to me that a freshly severed human finger is not human and not alive, your arguments fall on deaf ears.

I really wish you'd fire those ears up. Because my argument is sound.

Human DNA never ever equals human life.

DNA from a human is human DNA. That's all.

What is created in the course of human reproduction is human life. A life that begins at conception, with the zygote (see scientific sources above).

Cloning etc is a whole other subject where ethics may be blurred. Just because cloning removes a choice to terminate life, it doesn't follow that when a person does choose to terminate a pregnancy that theirs is the choice to terminate human life.

The severed finger was part of a living animal. If it's severed, and assuming that human fingers can't survive without the body which supports it, cannot be classed as a life in its own right. It will be alive as long as it's support remains. Not for very long after its support is removed.

A severed finger from a human is never a human. It has no life independently of a human.

Zygotes have a life outside of the host. it's life and the hosts life are two different things. Two lives, one growing inside the other. At some point a separation occurs, the legal definition of unjust killing, and two humans emerge.

I see no sound argument that a finger is the same as a human life.
