What was your friends reaction to that point? Over the years when I have pointed out the stage of Human development argument people then refuse to talk about it anymore!

What was your friends reaction to that point?

When i first made the point years ago, he just responded "but it's a fetus, NOT a person."

I explained to him the petitio principii/circular reasoning fallacy--he was assuming a fetus meant "non-person" in order to prove a fetus is a "non-person". he still had that attitude, "don't confuse me with facts; my minds already made up."

recently we went over that point again. he seemed a bit softer on his position (he seemed to have doubts), but he may have merely been acting polite.

latinwarrior, see post 12 as well.
