Did you know before 1869, the Catholic Church's official policy was that a human embryo did not have a soul until the woman was at least 6 weeks pregnant?

WHAT CHANGED???

Politics. The Pro-Choice loons have defined human life as an egg that has been fertilized for 1 second. Science does not support that.

Yes it does. You can tell if the person is a red-head, blonde, blue-eyed, boy, girl, etc. by the genes at the moment of conception if you had access to them. A fully, genetically formed, unique new human - or humans if it divides by mitosis to form identical twins.

You meant to say pro-life rather than pro-choice, right?

I agree with your description of yourself as a loon.

As for human life, the science is clear, human life begins at conception. Only cowardly, ideologue loons won't admit that while arguing for utilitarianism.

Like you.

Why are you arguing religion when you specifically ordered me to leave my 'silly God' out of the discussion?

More 'make up your own ethics as you go along' Lunatic? I guess when you have no values, you prove it on a regular basis....

I asked you to prove scientifically that an embryo was not a human life. Do it.

You advocate killing it. The burden of proof is on YOU to prove that there's nothing there before you take her life and do experiments on her.

Did you know that Thomas Aquinas thought that the male sperm contained the nascent human, with the female contributing nothing but the womb?

Science changes these moral judgments.

Until the Church can be certain when life begins, it errs on the side of caution and protects a fertilized egg as a human life.
