Fertilized egg + uterus implantation = conception of human life
Fertilized egg + menstruation = try again next month
A fertilized egg cannot become human unless it is implanted in the womb, period. Active women, even in marriages, probably expel dozens of fertilized eggs throughout their lives as part of the natural processes of their bodies.
You see, this is we'll be homeschooling our children.
I'll try to remember to lob them in here.
Seems the He/She Inhuman have all things "Non-Person" nailed down tight. Along with the blood and guts of Constitutional Abortion, fleshing out at the microscopic level the ritual deicide ongoing as we chunks of measurably Self-Conscious matter evolve toward our hopeful, ... uh, for want of a better word ... humanitarian Utopia.
That is what's known as a NATURAL death ... the sort to which all human beings (barring the most extreme punishment of all) are entitled.

The "no" to life,
which the use of contraceptives cries out by its very name
Q: Once fertilization, once conception has occurred, could you tell the Court, anything added after the point? Does Peter or Margaret come into being, so to speak, through additional information? A: Well, that was a very interesting discovery of modem science. Because for a long time it has been believed that the mother, the feeling of the mother, could do something to the baby. . . . [but] we know now that everything is written inside the first cell. I have to come back to this concept of conception, because it is a very remarkable fact that in all the languages coming from Latin, we use the same word either to express an idea which comes into our mind, or to a new being coming into life. We conceive an idea. We conceive a baby. A baby is conceived. Conception applies just as well for defining what will animate matter in a human nature or what will animate your mind within your idea. And that is, so to speak, an extraordinary description of reality which is at the very beginning the information and the matter, so to speak:
the spirit and the body are so intimately interwoven that we use the same word to say spirit animated by your ideas, or life of a new human being animated by genetic property-conception.Doctor Jérôme Lejeune, R.I.P. From Natural Family Planning (by Askel5) |
So far, so good.
"Fertilized egg + uterus implantation = conception of human life"
No...... Fertilization and conception are the same thing.
"Fertilized egg + menstruation = try again next month."
There is no such thing as a "fertilized egg." And this is a spontaneous miscarriage.
"A fertilized egg cannot become human unless it is implanted in the womb, period. Active women, even in marriages, probably expel dozens of fertilized eggs throughout their lives as part of the natural processes of their bodies."
There is no such thing as a "fertilized egg." Human beings begin at conception, and are as genetically complete as they'll ever be. Your humanity is established whether you get your nourishment from your mother's uterine wall, or from a #4 at McDonald's.
Yes.
Life begins at conception.
I wonder if that lab in Mass. that cloned a human being could qualify for federal aid? I can just see the press conference: "We're not going to fund research on new clones--but the ones that have already been cloned..."
If they harvest the clone for its stem cells, then duplicate the line, you will have the same justification that the republicans used the first time. No wonder the Pope said there are dark times ahead.
What's this "we" business, white man? =)
The current issue of Human Life Review has some excellent articles on the subject. I may post a potpourri of highlights.
At least as disturbing, if not more, are the inroads made toward offing the "living" and scrapping them for parts upon "brain death".
Speaking of definitions, I hadn't realized that food and water now had become a legal term of art known as "ANH" or artificial nutrition and hydration.
I suppose this bit of semantics (and the almighty Economic Burden, of course) is why Sinkspur argues that a feeding tube is an "extraordinary" measure next of kin need not feel morally obligated to take where the dying, comatose or failing are concerned.
God forbid we have the true compassion that is "suffering with". Better our service to mankind take the form of legislation and conditioning necessary to liquidate those who might put the pinch on our pocketbooks or cast a pall on our Quality of Life.
