What question? You sure you don't wanna see that neuor friend of mine?

Your arguments suck. You are under the impression that artificially setting a nervous system as the point where the embryo/foetus acquires homo sapienhood is somehow supported by science. It is nonsensical and pathetic.

The honest adherer to scientism simply ackowledges the fact that the embryo is a living human being (which is by the way a scientific term meaning modern member of the species homo sapiens) and proclaims that killing them for research is for the "greater good".

What question?

I asked you what you believe happens to the "individual" human being of an embryo if that embryo splits and develops into twins. I never asked what the moral position of aborting twins is. Your answer had no relevance to my question.

You are under the impression that artificially setting a nervous system as the point where the embryo/foetus acquires homo sapienhood is somehow supported by science.

I have made no such claim. I have stated that there are those who believe that a functioning nervous system is a requirement for a homo sapiens embryo to be considered "human". I have never stated that such a view is scientific. In fact, I have specifically stated that such quibbles are semantic, and not scientific. I have never stated that I agree or disagree with that particular sentiment, nor do I find your misrepresentations of my statements to enhance your credibility.
