And incidentally, concerning "rights", I imagine you are referring to Civil Rights - The right to life means just that. When the egg is fertilized life begins, thus the right to life, and civil rights, begins at that very moment. Sorry your mother dropped you on
YOUR head. Enough said.
I am referring to the philosophical notion of human rights, and not to any type of legal or authoritarian decree.
- The right to life means just that. When the egg is fertilized life begins, thus the right to life, and civil rights, begins at that very moment.
The trouble is, there is no meaningful moment that one can point to during the continuous process of fertilization. I'm not saying a zygote doesn't have rights. I am saying that there is no meaningful instant separating gametes from zygote. This should be obvious to you.
Sorry your mother dropped you on YOUR head.
She denies it.
