Would like to venture an explanation, from your perspective, for when an alive human organism becomes a human being?... I will take as axiomatic that innocent
human beings deserve protection of their right to life in your reckoning.

Thank you for the question. It's actually a good question, but rather than answer that directly, I am going to refer people back to my fist post on this thread. From there I'd like to invite them to review each of my comments if they would like to. While this exact question hasn't been asked up to this point, I don't think I've left any doubt over time what my views are regarding this question or just about any other related issue you could raise. In fact I'd venture to state that most people probably thought I was too verbose as it was.
I appologize if you feel this is dodging your question. It just seems to me that if I answer this, we're off on another round of questions and answers that have basicly been hashed out over time. The next question would be, well if you feel that way, why don't you defend the rights of the embryo at that point? We've covered that in detail, so I think it is fair to avoid repeating what I've already explained.
I've appreciated the debate and discussion, but there's only so much you can say on one topic, and after nearly 28 hours on this thread, I think we've reached that point. At least I have.
Perhaps I'll join another of your threads on this topic at a later date.
Take care.
This was my first post on the thread. LINK
