Quote:Simply put, a fetus is a human being from the moment of conception since it belongs to the species homo-sapiens and is genetically complete in its information. I look forward to any responses!From the Brittanica site for human being:
Quote:human being (Homo sapiens), a culture-bearing primate that is anatomically similar and related to the other great apes but is distinguished by a more highly developed brain and a resultant capacity for articulate speech and abstract reasoning....You are merely asserting that a fertilized egg is a human being because it contains a human genome. That is found nowhere in the dictionary definitions. You keep using that phrase. I do not thin it means what you thin it means.
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?
