Your second premise: A fetus is an innocent human being and your original OP
Quote:a fetus is a human being from the moment of conceptionshow unreasonable redefinitions of the terms 'human being' and 'fetus'.
A fertilized egg is not a fetus. An unborn human only becomes a fetus after recognizable major structures have developed. You're using the term incorrectly.
You unreasonably extend the status of human being to a fertilized egg in opposition to commonly accepted definitions of what a human being is.
You do not show reason that human being status should not be extended to cloned pluripotential cells or blastula cells capable of development into adult human beings.
Your argument is defeated.
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?
