A former attorney general and human rights commission chairman is claiming that unborn children in the earliest stages of development are not human, and are in fact chimpanzees.

And with two human parents, they magically turn into chimpanzees and then *poof* magically turn back into humans again as they grow!

What a freaking moron. This guy ought to be disbarred and any medical professional who supports this lunacy should be stripped of his license to practice.

Whenever somebody says the unborn baby isn't human, I'm tempted to get a real solemn look on my face and say, in shocked tones, "Oh, I'm so sorry. Tell me, what... what was the father?"

But in all seriousness, this undercuts the very concept of human rights, human dignity, even human identity. From this guy's perspective, human identity is an intermittent thing, existing only when a fully-loaded cerebral cortex is optimally developed, active, and manifest, and fading like a light on a rheostat whenever you are not at the highest pitch of documented thinkitude.

Everybody is at low level of cogitation when inattentive, distracted, or even dreaming. I guess your humanness just fades and flickers on and off like that.

My advice to this Mexican politico: never, never fall asleep. If you do... (visualize cutting motion with finger across the neck.)

What an idiot.

Chimpanzees have 48 chromosomes and humans have 46.

What happens? Some magically disappear?

Well, Princeton University has Peter Singer, who argues for personhood status for apes, while denying it to unborn and newborn and disabled or terminally ill human beings.

Maybe this guy was in Singer’s class.

No biology necessary- just diabolically twisted arguments.
