I take it then that you disagree with the Constitution of the United States and the Declaration of Independence which both sanctify life by declaring it is an unalienable right.

No, I do not disagree with it. Where you and I disagree is what is human life. I do not believe an embryo, which is simply 2-8 cells of proteins and DNA, is a human "life". It is simply the result of a chemical reaction between a sperm and an egg, also called a zygote. A zygote BECOMES a human life after 8 weeks when it forms into a fetus.

Lunatic doesn't believe in God. His God is his science. So be it. He'll never be convinced otherwise so just let him be. I completely disagree with him but that's ok.

When my son was born, i flashed back to a conversation with my now wife where we discussed a potential abortion. I was appalled at myself that I had even considered snuffing out his life, whether he was scientifically "viable" or not.

To each his own Lunatic.

I have had 2 to 8 cells before. Some became grass. Some became my dogs. The difference is how those 2 to 8 cells came together. 2 human cells do not become birds, or trees, the become humans.

2 cells from cats do not become air, they become kittens.

This is not religion, it is the science that you have been speaking of as if you had thought about it. Obviously, you have not really thought about it.
