It has been shown in studies that electrical impulses from the brain begin by the 43rd day of pregnancy. BTW I once knew a man who claimed to be an atheist. He said that the only thing he believed in was logic. Do you feel the same way?

And if you'd read anything that I'd posted earlier you'd know that I am aware of when the electrical impulses are first recorded. Had you done a little more digging (and I don't blame you for not going that far), you would have seen where I pointed out that, IIRC, orthodox Jews believe that the "soul" is planted 40 days after conception and believed that the zygote was a "human being" at that point -- and I stated that I agreed with the human being part, though for reasons other than the presence of a hypothetical soul.

BTW I once knew a man who claimed to be an atheist. He said that the only thing he believed in was logic. Do you feel the same way?

Logic is simply an abstract construct. The universe is made of particles and energy, not logic.

If "its" not alive, why do you have to kill "it"?

To what is this "it" that you refer and where did I advocate killing "it"?
