523 - you believe: "You are guilty of murder at ANY stage after conception no matter how much or how hard you try to rationalize it. It's purely and simply murder. Once the egg and sperm are joined, that's it. "

Now, if you read my/the previous posts, you would find that about 40% of fertilized eggs fail to 'implant', and are swept away with the monthly menses.

How many 'people' have you/your wife 'murdered'?

You better start screening every menses, and re-implanting all fertilized eggs. We have the technology.

Or is that too much trouble?

Why is it so hard for you to grasp that a zygote is a human being?

A thing cannot change from one thing into another thing. In other words, there can't be alterations or changes in a thing unless something about that thing always remains the same. You have changed from a child to an adult because the "you" which is you, your soul or whatever, your personhood, has stayed the same throughout the changes. The changes have been to accidental things about you, your body, for example. Different things have happened to your body and the same is true of an unborn child. No, an unborn child is an individual being and that's absolutely obvious from the biology and also from the reflection that, if you are a female, and you have a being with a penis inside of you, obviously it's not you because women don't have penises. So the being inside you is a separate being. So, my question for you is: What kind of being is it?

Let me help you:

Beings produce other beings just like themselves. So it is irrefutable that this "fetus" is a human being. I've never seen anything come out of the womb other than a human being, have you?

I don't believe that we have the technology to "re-implant" those embryos that are passed due to failure. Perhaps we could clone them and implant the resulting embryos, but, as I've said before, no one has the right to technology and the labor of another.
