Define life.
Define being.
Define consciousness.
Define feeling.
Define awareness.
Define person.

The blastocyst Chicken is NOT a baby chicken.

give us the scientific definition of "baby", trial lawyer......

 

[PostmodernProphet]

Hello Darth,



We don't hear you talking like that in the Climate Change thread.

you idiots ignore the science on both issues.....

 

[PostmodernProphet]

Hello Darth,



Not any more. It is now a proven fact that climate change has been caused by human industrial activity.

I have 'just accepted the science.'

NASA measures direct evidence humans are causing climate change

bullshit......they didn't cause it 150k years ago, they didn't cause it 100k years ago, they didn't cause it 50k years ago........no reason to pretend they are causing it this cycle either......

Every person begins to exist at conception. That’s when you began to exist it’s when I began to exist.

There’s really no way out of it lol.

You didn't define "person".

A person can’t exist prior to birth otherwise abortion would be murder lol?

That’s the objective, right?

Killing a person would be murder, unborn or not.

Nobody is disagreeing with that, except those extremely crazy people. Dr. Gosnell is in prison for that.

Who gets to decide when a person begins to exist?

That's the question, isn't it? lol?

That's the question, isn't it? lol?

I’m a person and I began to exist at conception lol.

Every part of my physical *person* can be traced back to a singular point in time.

What point in time? Life goes all the way back to the beginning of the universe.

As for me, I began as a zygote, an animal that is called h. sapiens. I did not begin as a person until my brain developed to the point where I had the capacity for thought, learning, using my physical senses to navigate my environment. I have no idea when that was, of course, but it was not at the zygote stage, nor even when under six months of gestation, probably more.

Yeah so what, exactly, is a "person"? Does a Turing test prove that it is a person?

To be clear my questions were meant for people in general, especially Darth Omar.

My life goes back to the beginning of the universe lol?

I have no recollection of that.

I once had a dog and his name was Bingo.

 

[Cypress]

bullshit.....the origin of life is a metaphysical question......the commencement of life is a daily occurence well defined by science.....

The fact that you would not, under any circumstances, risk your life to run into a burning fertility clinic to save a petri dish of blastocysts means that you too have doubts about when a human life actually begins. Obviously, you do not actually think it starts at conception.

 

[PoliTalker]

Hello Darth,

I've got memories going all the way back to when I was 4 years old.

I can't really remember a thing before that, much less being in the womb.

The embryonic chicken isn’t a chicken lol?

What is it?

No more than an apple seed is an apple tree.
