Exactly! That's what I've been trying to get across regarding this nonsense that DNA proves something is a human being. All DNA proves is something is human material. A fertilized human egg is not necessarily a human being, "being" being the key word. Logic should tell anyone that if 50% of fertilized eggs spontaneously abort a lot of those eggs do not even have the necessary material to develop into a human being, let alone are human beings.
Again, you ignore the difference between something killed and something alive and pretend that science agrees with you. There is a difference between a living organism and something dead, this is true. But it doesn't change what it was before you killed it.
They're not ridiculous examples. Just as you said a coffee table isn't a tree and a lamp made from human skin is not a human being running scientific tests on those things can not determine the difference between a tree and a table or a lamp and a person. So the idea DNA proves something is a human being is simply not true.
Again, absolutely ridiculous. Ignoring the difference between a living organism and something dead doesn't change that it is something killed.
If this were the case you would never be able to convict anybody of murder because the corpse is no longer a "person"...
The kids in kindergarten are all human beings because they have been born. It has been accomplished. They are not doctors or any other professional because that has not been accomplished. As for changing species no one suggested that. My point is we, science, does not know if the fertilized egg has the necessary ingredients to become a human being until it does become a human being.
You said that they were going to "develop into" a doctor as part of their life cycle, which is simply stupid. It simply isn't the case. Their DNA makes them a living human organism, their DNA will not make them a doctor. They don't develop into doctors, they choose a career path. There is no "doctor organism" they are human, not the specie "doctor"...
The human organism is a human organism, there is nothing to accomplish it is what it is.
Not only do we have very little idea how genes work but as far as I'm aware no one even knows how many genes human beings have. Talk about being in the dark. The scientific community jumps up and down when they find a gene that relates to an illness and we have tens of thousands of genes. If we don't know how many genes we have and how they function how can anyone possibly conclude a fetus has all the necessary genes in order to develop into a human being. And when we talk about a fertilized cell.....well, obviously there's nothing to talk about.
Now we're again into the philosophy rather than the science. They are a human organism, even 5th grade science will tell you that. There's nothing to talk about because you simply ignore science and pretend it isn't what it is.
Proof would entail knowing what genes are necessary for the development of a human being and then knowing if, at the very least, the majority of fertilized cells usually contain those necessary genes before one jumps to the conclusion all fertilized cells are human beings.
No, it would not. Proof is simply the reality that the human organism begins life at conception. Whether it is a "person" or legal to kill at that level of development is the question, but pretending it is anything other than human progeny is pretense, an attempt to dehumanize so that you can feel good.
I understand that those who support killing progeny will always use argument outside of science. Is it a "person"? That is philosophy, and the only actual argument that can exist. Deliberately pretending that 2 plus 2 is 5 will never make it 5, nor will pretending that human progeny isn't a human organism make that organism anything other than what it is.
