When Is Human Life A Human Being?

When sperm and egg collide.

If there is a fire in a building and infants are inside, every fireman will rush in to save them, regardless of the risk.

If there is a fire in a building and petri dishes containing living fertilized eggs are inside, how many firemen will rush in to save them?

In the real world, if it isn't breathing on it's own, it isn't human.

How many of 'your' firemen are Christians?

In a God-centered world/'real-world', those babies in a petrie dish are no different than babies in a human 'dish'.

Not quite. Scott Peterson's baby wasn't yet breathing on its own.

If it isn't breathing on its own, but still in the womb, and you kill it (outside of an abortion clinic), you'll find yourself on trial for murdering a human.

So, if it isn't human, because it isn't breathing on its own, then those cell masses hooked to life support systems in our hospitals must not be human, either?

I'll be sure to dictate that in my report the next time I read the chest X-ray of a patient in the ICU who is on the ventilator.

"A single AP portable view of the chest demontrates an endo-tracheal tube in place with it's tip 3 centimeters above the level of the carina thereby indicating that the patient is not human......"

If there is a fire and a pregnant woman is inside, firemen will risk their lives to save her and her unborn baby.

Hmmm. Like someone on a respirator? The same could be said about lack of reasoning as evinced by the above.

So, in the "real world" someone on a ventilator has lost his or her standing as human?

So I guess dogs, cats, birds, fish are all human because they breathe on their own.

You're not the brightest one, are you Einstein?

That's your interpretation? Really?

Whether or not a fireman will rush into a building to save it? What about whether the police can charge you with its murder for killing the mother carrying it?

More to the point, are we going to wait for a cop or a fireman to tell us what we already know without being told, or are we going to stand up like free men and admit the truth?

Abortion is murder, and no Clinton-esque word parsing will change that.

So if I take a bat to a pregnant woman's belly, and she lives, but the baby dies, what is that in the real world?

I've always believed that the barrier of compassion in a liberials eyes is the vagina. You make it out of there, and you've got a shot.

Until you clear it, though, you are nothing but a collection of cells.

But, if there is a burning building and there are many pregnant women inside , the firemen rush inside to save the women. And if one of the women dies and the infant can be saved, they do it. They don't just let the fetus die with the mother. Hmmm.. interesting debate.

In social work classes we were taught that an acorn is not a tree. IT ONLY has the potential of being a tree. Acorns and petri dishes are just another attempt to disguise the fact that we are talking about human life here.

It is not a choice,it is a baby.
