In which case there is no "beginning of life" even in higher level beings. The sperm and the egg, is life the same way the single cell beings are life at the stage of meiosis. This is nonsense and a testament to the poor state of the academy in todays America. Genetics tells us quite clearly that new human life, a diploid organism, is extant after fertilization completes. The twinning argument is supercilious nonsense that goes like this. Because the zygote may split into two distinct human organisms it is OK to kill that human life. IOW's two for the price of one justifies killing human life.

I didn't say that anything justifies killing anybody. I simply stated something which should be obvious, but it isn't: conception is not an absolute final state of one individual human being. The science of genetics is clear, the problem is that college level developmental biology books are rife with ideology stepping all over the science. Your tome is a prime example of that. I think a medical diploma and 27 years of practice of obstetrics and gynecology matches any education you may have received. Unless of course you are also a physician and ob-gyn.

Socialism by it's very definition will naturally lead to this.

Oh sure, it may take a few generations, but it's coming, if Communism and Socialism rule the day.

They'll loosen the laws on assisted suicide first. Pure economics becuse there is an eventual limit they can tax the population.

Geesh, I remember there being a 90% tax bracket...how barbaric!

For pro-lifers...this man is a gift to be used as a their new 'poster boy' to the pro choice crowd.

Vote in November straight R!

Right, it's a beginning state, the beginning of new human life on the contiuum from life to death.

Look Doc, bs is bs whether it comes from the hind of a bull or the keyboard of a Doctor. And no I'm not an Ob-Gyn, I'm a blue collar guy that knows bs when he sees it.
