Embryo=/=Person

by Anonymous 13 years ago

An embryo is not a person and if it's going to have a crappy life and it's mother cannot provide for it, it is her choice if she wants to have the baby or not. Not yours.

Embryo = person, biologically speaking. Upon conception, when the sperm and ovum meet all of a sudden this new creation meets all seven characteristics of life: 1. Composed of cells (that's an obvious one) 2. Has different levels of Organizations. Almost all cells fall into this category. If it has cells, it pretty much has this. Human cells have many different levels of organization and it grows more as the baby matures. 3. Uses energy. It has to make new cells somehow. That energy it gets from its mother until it is born. 4. Responds to environment. Another characteristics of all cells. I'm not going to venture the interaction between the zygote/embryo and mothers uterine wall, but that's a good example. 5. They grow. Well, if you don't know that they grow, you can stop talking now. :) (continued on next post)

6. They reproduce. That zygote that is made when sperm and "egg" meet has the ability now (it didn't before when the two were separate) to reproduce into new cells by asexual mitotic devision. And finally, 7. They adapt to their environment. These cells create certain proteins based on the flow of what's going on in the uterus. They change according to temperature, pH, and even amount of nutrients. Based on this, I can conclude that these zygotes are baby humans at the moment of conception. Whenever you abort them, at any time, you are killing a human. It's a fact that will remain whether we make a law about it or not. The point is it's murder. Murder is wrong. This is a black and white issue.

I definitely do not believe this is a black and white issue. Why should you have the right to tell a woman what to do or not do with her own body?

I'm poor and I'm a Republican. I know wealthy people who are Democrats.
