Yeah, so what? I don't think the scientist is that far off.

How so?

I don't think the scientist is that far off.

He's not a scientist. He's a murderous psychopath.

If you find his genocidal rantings to be "not far off", I'm sure there's a job in Obama's shadow cabinet for you.

I posit the statement that just because a thing has the same number of chromosomes as me, does not mean that they are a human being, they could just as likely be some sort of feral animal. Case in point:

What are you doing on FR?

The *scientist*? If this is where *science* and *scientists* are leading, it's no wonder they're having such PR problems.

When I used to do public speaking, I would often approach the audience thus:

There are two kinds of human beings: developing, and dead. How many here are developing? (All hands would rise, many waving enthusiastically --- no matter what the audience!) Anybody here dead? (Usually no hands, except the inevitable jokemeister.)"

So the fact that a zygote, embryo, fetus, neonate, infant, toddler, etc. is "developing" is true, but that is not what makes them different from the rest of us; that's what they have in common with the rest of us.

Taking this view, we could say that humanity extends, not just from the cradle to the grave, but from the womb to the tomb.

Some of us recognize the span "from erection to Resurrection."
