Atheists, the death penalty and abortion...

[NoraBrimstone]

No it isn't. It's not considered a person because it isn't a person. It is a foetus. It looks and behaves exactly like foetuses of all other mammals, if you want to make that comparison.

So, I shall ask again about miscarriage: Should a woman be arrested for manslaughter upon miscarrying?

[Joel]

Slaves had no status as a "person" because of racism and ignorance and were considered more like animals than humans. They were people, as we now know, with thoughts, feelings and everything else a person has.

I'm not a foetus, I'm a fucking adult person. Are you a sperm, or do you just have the IQ of one?

And please answer my question regarding miscarriage.

A fetus has no status as a "person" because of elitism and ignorance and is considered more like an animal than a human.

Whilst I don't consider a fetus a person, I still consider it a human. Don't conflate the two: they are two different things. For example; a human fetus is, of course, a human but isn't considered a person.
I also don't consider a fetus (or a few-day-old embryo) an 'animal' in the sense that you mean... Though, humans are animals.

You mean like your education?

If you are lucky.

You know, that one that denies that a fetus is an individual human lifeform?

If you can.

The type of education that leaves no valid rebuttal and results in insults?
The education that causes one to adhere to the buffoonery dogma?

Nope. That would be your Christian education.

Please keep it up, I get an immense joy from watching the morons backpedal and trip over simple biology definitions...

Your severely lacking education must be making you delusional.

Wrong. A fetus has no status as a person because it does not qualify for one due to lacking the basic qualities that make a person.

Once again, Catfish: mocking someone isn't really an argument.

Ask yourself this: why is it that your responses only ever seem to be contemptuous or appeals to emotion? Isn't it really because you have no actual arguments to make for a position that you're only really justifying with a holy book that only partially supports the claim you're attempting (and failing) to make?

[catfish]

Why the fuck does everyone insist that my morals come from a book? Really, when have I ever used the Bible to justify anything I choose?

This is simple logic that I shouldn't have to explain.

Is a fetus a human being or not?

[Silver]

Is a fetus a human being or not?

It is not.

[catfish]

Is a fetus a human being or not?

It is not.

Then what is it and at what point does it become one?

Not.

A fetus and it becomes a human at birth.

Until it leaves its mother's womb, it is a fetus. Before the fetus stage, it is an unrecognizable bundle of cells, which is why abortion is legal. Most rational people consider the infant, out of its mother's womb, a human. I personally believe speech and cognitive processes need to be developed before it can be considered a human.
