Abortion and Global warming

[Fidel_Castronaut]

Again, I asked what a 'future person' was on page 1...

I tend to ignore questions with obvious answers.

A future person is a person that exists in the future.

Ok. That doesn't actually answer anything.

When the subject matter is one of subjective interpretation of when life begins, dismissing a request that seeks to elucidate where the line is drawn is foolish and not conducive to furthering the debate.

So what criteria are you using to determine humanity? As I mentioned in the other abortion thread, it can't solely be genetics because that makes a lot of things that aren't humans, human too. You seem to be just asserting that zygotes possess this attribute without any criteria that would point to that, nor anything other than special pleading to prevent us from extending that same attribute further back to the sperm and the egg, or forward to, say, human fingernails.

I answered this on a couple of occasions already. If you want to know what a human being is....open up a junior high school biology text and look up the life cycle of a human being. A human being is a zygote, a fetus, an infant, a toddler, an adolescent, an adult, and an elderly adult(which is really just an adult).
