JerryLove,
do you believe that a fetus is not a human, or that they are, but that fact is irrelevent?

I believe that my finger is human. I don't believe that fetuses should have legal protection as a person.

Based on your answer, does your finger deserve more legal protection than a fetus? Not that I agree with your belief - so, ultimately who is right?

Depends what part of the pregnancy. I think it's a mistake to "all or nothing" protections.

Jerrylove,

I understand that you dont believe they should have legal protection, but if you could expound on whether or not you believe them to be human or not. or if you believe there is a point when they become human, what is that point?

Thanks,
_Pearl.

Yes. They are human from before conception (both human eggs and human semen are human) to after death (a human corpse is human). Is this really on-topic?

I deleted (and commented on, for mods) the last two posts by cytorath and SneakyPope basically as they restated the obvious (and what JerryLove has pointed out): that the thread is going off topic.

If you want to start a Government/Economics-related thread on the topic, please start one. Keep this thread more general.
