Would you care to define 'alive' as in 'assuming he is alive'? From previous discussions I think I know from whence you come to this discussion, but there are many reading this thread who would find it instructional to read your 'special' definition since you do not consider the alive embryo age as an alive human being and you do not have a specific age during gestational life that you allow as the onset of aliveness as a human being. Care to elaborate giving specifics?

I have no idea what you think I believe, but, for the record, I believe every cell in the human body is alive, a human zygote is alive from conception, as is every other zygote. Why in the world would you think I would not say they are alive? Aren't you sure they are alive?

...since you do not consider the alive embryo age as an alive human being...

Within the context of biology, a human embryo is a stage in a human life. Within the context of political definitions, neither a human embryo or even a young child ought to be considered a fully developed human, and laws that apply to adult human beings ought not apply, at least in the same way, to the unborn or recently born.

Nice try at obfuscation, Hank. I aked you to clarify your definitions because you have acknowledge in the past that you do not value the embryonic age of the lifetime to be that of an individual human being. Care to take it from there?
