The initial link is down, but assuming that the following quote comes from itYes, it was. I find propaganda from any side irritating, because there's only one thing it can be relied on to do - misrepresent the truth or even just lie outright. Ugh. I...  [Read More]

Be pissed off. (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/3/7/102326/8499) Be very pissed off. And then consider whether you really want a party that has not kicked out the gutter rat who distributed this to be in control of all four branches of government...  [Read More]

All moral codes are inconsistent, whether they are relative or absolute. Indeed, one might argue that the claim to an absolute moral code is hypocricy, since such codes rarely if ever specify which rules take precedence over which other rules in case...  [Read More]

Well, I decided to take a day off from this thread, for the most part. Too much heavy thinking... and way too much heavy typing for my admittedly limited skills.I appreciate the thought you've put into this. Thanks. :) Yes, I do.Ok. Mods, if you ple...  [Read More]

@Samuel Dravis- I'm not about to waste my time researching this to meet your standard of proof, which seems impossible to meet. This type of consensus if similar to a mathematical convention, like c being the hypotenuse of a triangle. Try to find a p...  [Read More]

Except that the fetus requires the mother to process the food for it. Where as a living human does not. It can do that on it's own.It utilizes the nutrients provided by itself. What is your opinion on people, such as infants, who require their food t...  [Read More]

It's the consensus among biologists. I honestly hope you have something reasonable that supports your view. Your own link disagrees with you. It's not self-sustaining, it requires the mother's assitance in it's own growth. Without the mother it'll...  [Read More]

It's not a matter of their opinions, it's the consensus that appears in things like biology text books and such.So the entire collective of biologists wrote any specific biology book? I seem to remember them being attributed to a specific author......  [Read More]

@Samuel Dravis- It's not just one biologist, it's biologists in general :)So you somehow know their opinions because...? Have they collectively told you? Do you have a study or some statistics on how many of biologists recognize fetuses as alive or n...  [Read More]

Here's how wikipedia defines life: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LifeI'm interested in knowing exactly why you left out the qualifications. Surely, those are part of the definition? In particular, these points: Although there is no universal agreemen...  [Read More]

Science doesn't recognize them as life, reguardless of what you believe.I haven't seen you post many biologist's definitions of life in this particular case. You posted about something that is generally accepted (with qualifications!), then said that...  [Read More]

Children eventually grow into adults. A fetus, in any stage, cannot reproduce, because by the time it can it is no longer a fetus, it is an adult. Those who cannot reproduce, ever, should, theoretically, be able to reproduce, it's the result of an ou...  [Read More]

We're talking about fetuses though, and they are not developed enough to fulfill all of the requirements of life. Also, even if "my" definition is not how you define life, it is how the scientific community defines it, which is a community...  [Read More]

They're human, they're simply the exception to the rule.Why are they an exception, and why cannot others 'be an exception'? How exactly, are people who are too young to be able to reproduce (i.e., kids, babies, fetuses) not exceptions as well? Edit:...  [Read More]

Because it's counting on the fact that the person reading said list isn't a moron that can't infer more than what is being said. Not to be inflammatory, but you're being kind of a smartass.Revise the quote if it's not applying to your position. I ex...  [Read More]

There's clearly a distinction between a eunich and a sperm cell. You don't consider a trait that was gained after development based on some environmental factor (Knife to the testes for example) to be pertinant in the classification of an organism. T...  [Read More]
