Riddle me this....

You have no idea if you'll die in the next second.
Therefore me killing you isn't killing a life, only a potential life.
So killing you isn't killing a human?

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.

You remove a four week old fetus from the mother's womb and it's not going to stay alive very long. It will be alive as long as it's support remains.

I'm not a human. I'm a kumquat.

I exist. A person. Killing a person that currently exists is murder. Removing the possibility of someone that might exist in the future isn't murder. It's just a choice.

You killed the fetus. You didn't kill the finger, it was never a human to kill. It's host body can carry on living without it.

When a foetus is removed, its host body can carry on living without it, too. Usually much better off, too.

I didn't kill anything. I just removed a possibility.*

*No humans were harmed in the making of this post.

I thought something smelled funny! Big Grin

Who's talking about a person? I'm talking about a human. Both you and the zygote are classified as human.

Who's talking about the law? The question is asking if you think one is killing as human and one is not.

Every sperm and egg combo is a potential human. Let's ban condoms and birth control. Otherwise, we're murdering the unconceived.

The unconceived are people too!

My severed finger is classified as human.

When I use the term person or human what I mean by that is a consciousness. Human consciousness.

There's no human to kill with abortion. No human there. Just an undeveloped piece of human flesh.
