Abortion

[gfm7175]

ChatGPT tells me the answer is the following:
**
The square root of –1 is represented by the imaginary unit, written as iii (in mathematics) or jjj (in engineering).


Formally:

i=−1i = \sqrt{-1}i=−1

ChatGPT tells me that viruses exist:

Yes, viruses absolutely exist. They are real, well-documented biological entities that have been studied extensively for over a century.

What is a virus?​

• A virus is a small infectious agent that can only replicate inside the living cells of other organisms.
• It consists mainly of genetic material (DNA or RNA) enclosed in a protein coat, and sometimes a lipid envelope.
• Viruses cannot reproduce or carry out metabolism on their own, which is why they’re not considered "alive" in the traditional sense.

---

Evidence that viruses exist:​

1. Microscopy: Viruses have been directly observed using electron microscopes. We have high-resolution images of many types of viruses, including influenza, HIV, and coronaviruses like SARS-CoV-2.
2. Isolation and Culturing: Viruses can be isolated and grown in cell cultures in labs. Scientists routinely do this for research and vaccine development.
3. Genome Sequencing: The entire genomes of thousands of viruses have been sequenced. You can look up viral genetic sequences in public databases like GenBank.
4. Vaccines and Antiviral Drugs: Many vaccines (e.g., measles, HPV, COVID-19) and antiviral drugs (e.g., for HIV, herpes) are developed specifically to target viruses — and they work, which wouldn’t be possible if viruses weren’t real.

Famous Examples of Viruses:​

• Influenza (Flu)
• HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus)
• SARS-CoV-2 (causes COVID-19)
• HPV (Human Papillomavirus)
• Ebola
• Rabies

If you're asking because you've heard conspiracy theories or misinformation claiming viruses don't exist, I can help address those too — they’re usually based on misunderstandings of biology or deliberate disinformation.


Would you like to dive deeper into how we know viruses are real or how they interact with the body?

He also doesn't believe vaccine prevent people from contracting the illness they were created to prevent

 

[IBDaMann]

I'm skeptical of that assertion.

... because that assertion is inconvenient and you cannot refute it.

One part of your position is that you'd like to control what words like abortion mean.

Incorrect. Your position is that you reject math in order to make "abortion" mean something other than what it is.

[IBDaMann]

Gambling has nothing to do with reproduction.

That was some of the lamest EVASION I can recall coming from you, and most of your EVASION is very lame.

Gambling has everything to do with a woman gambling that she won't get pregnant from deliberately engaging in sex.

One more time, because it's worth repeating: Gambling has everything to do with it.

Oh, I just realized, everyone generally agrees that everyone should be held fully accountable for deliberate gambling activity.

Oh, I just realized, everyone generally agrees that no living human should be punished for the deliberate activity and choices of a different living human, and especially not be given a death sentence just to make someone else's life more convenient.

You do agree with that, yes?

 

[IBDaMann]

First of all, unwanted pregnancies occur due to sex, not gambling.

When the gambling is the sex, all unwanted pregnancies result from gambling. All of them. 100%.

Secondly, it's lack of access to [professional contract killers] that force females to [allow their children to live] even if they'd rather [snuff the life out of their own children to avoid some inconvenience].

FTFY.

What kind of shitty woman wants to snuff her own children? I bet all such women are willing to gamble with sex.

 

[Into the Night]

I am not on a "side" except perhaps on the side of living humans. That places me on your side, by the way. If anyone comes to kill you, I will try to thwart the attempt.


You are very astute for having picked up on this. Christianity conceals this little detail, but you rooted it out.

Nothing to do with any religion.
Christians are all over the place on this.

Incorrect. My personal belief is that once a sperm fertilizes an egg, both the sperm and the egg are destroyed in a emergent transformation tht produces a living human, which many call a "zygote" at that moment in time. I simply do not use the word "conception."

Irrelevant. That's what conception is.

Apparently you are becoming confused by my argument simply stating that when there is a heartbeat, no one can deny that there is life. I don't know why you are confused on this point, but nonetheless here we are. I am not yet able to formulate a rational basis for showing that the human is alive prior to having a beating heart, despite my firm belief that he is.

There is life before the baby's heart begins beating. It is still a human life.

@Scott absurdly asserts that humans have life stages that somehow precede their existences. There is no "gamete" stage. Human life begins at on or after the emergent transformation (sperm fertilization of the egg) and does not exist prior; ergo there are no life stages prior.

And here you are support that a human life begins at conception.

... and you don't get to "disagree".

But you are disagreeing with yourself now.

 

[Into the Night]

So why pretend that a sperm is a human?

The answer is simple. It's an evasion and a strawman fallacy. He simply can't deal with the fact that an abortion is taking a human life.

 

[Into the Night]

I'm skeptical of that assertion.



I think I can agree with that. One part of your position is that you'd like to control what words like abortion mean. Your problem is that you can't.

He is not attempting to redefine abortion. YOU ARE.

 

[Into the Night]

I feel like we've stepped in to the following monty python skit -.-...

Then stop trying to redefine 'abortion'.

[Into the Night]

Do you have any evidence to support your assertion?

RQAA

 

[Into the Night]

Ofcourse. I'm just trying to help you with your logic.

You can't. He has no error in his basic logic. You are routinely denying logic.

 

[Into the Night]

Care to explain why you reject using the word person to describe the word human?

[Into the Night]

A projection.

@Scott, ask him about the square root of -1. It's hilarious.

I disagree- at this point, we're not even sure if electrons are conscious, suggesting that matter may not even have to be alive to be conscious:

Electrons May Very Well Be Conscious

Panpsychists look at the many degrees of complexity in nature and see no obvious line between mind and no-mind.

nautil.us

It's much easier to discern intelligence. Tests can and are done. The results are at times surprising:
'The Intelligent Hen': Chickens smarter than toddlers | news.com.au

If we go by that metric, chickens may be more deserving of rescue than fetuses.

Electrons are not human beings.
Chickens are not human beings.

Evasion strawman fallacies.

Abortion is taking the life of a human being.

First of all, unwanted pregnancies occur due to sex, not gambling. Secondly, it's lack of access to abortions that force females to grow fetuses even if they'd rather not.
