...or it doesn't have a soul, and destruction of it is morally inconsequential.

Gee, thanks for the false dilemma. I said earlier that I base my arguments on my study of human development and embryology and the premise that murdering humans is wrong.

So maybe you believe murdering humans is ok in some cases, such as when they're realy small.


It's not a false dilema at all. Everybody on this thread believes that murding humans is wrong. What we are arguing about is whether seven cells in a petri dish is a human or not. Either a blastosphere has a soul or it doesn't. I've asked you your opinion nicely. And I'll ask again. Does a blastosphere have a soul?

You are the one hung up on the soul thing. I have told you that whether there's a soul or not is immaterial to my thoughts on the matter. What's your problem with that? Can you not accept the possibility that the arguments you disagree with are not based on your preferred straw-man?

I know you're just looking to be told that whatever it is you've chosen is ok. Check out my first post on the thread where I said you can choose to live with principles or rationalizations. I guess you've chosen the latter.
