well its a draw the line argument. at one points its 2 cells. then 16 and 128 etc. at some point its vaguely person like. but where does one draw the line? 26 weeks seems reasonable. its a strange dissonance to say they are taking responsibility by getting an abortion but couldn't be responsible and just settle for a footjob like hunter did or use a condom the right way.
It’s not a draw the line argument imo. A new set of DNA is created at conception and the human starts to grow. Humans go through stages In life, and one stage is being 2 cells, you then grow up and get a heart beat, you keep growing up and then start to “look like the rest of us”, then you grow to a point where you do not need your mothers body to survive, L but can survive in the world alone and are born. You then go through about 10000 other changes from birth to death.
To kill a living, growing, human just because it doesn’t “look like you” is absurd and very narrow minded, imo. A heart beat doesn’t make you a human, having a unique set of human DNA and living through the same stages of live all humans that have ever lived went through, that makes you human. You were once two cells, so was I, so was your mother and father, and everyone else ever. Don’t start drawing arbitrary lines on human life because you don’t understand human biology. You create a human at conception. Hence the name
personhood is not 2 cells and some dna. its not 4 cells. define where it begins. 1 cell is not a person. it becomes a draw the line argument. 26 weeks is the most logical point. heart beat and a large amount of neural activity.
1 cell is certainly a person, just a very young one. Part of the human experience is being 1 cell at one time. You are not 1 cell for very long, but it’s absolutely living and growing, and part of the human condition. Life has many stages, and humans are complex creatures, and takes us time to develop into our full form. Everyday there are over 300,000 humans around the world that are one cell, and over 100,000,000 in the womb. These are all humans, just young ones that look and act different than you and me. In only a few months they will grow and develop to look more “people like”, but they are still people. Denying them their humanity is anti-scientific and immoral, imo.
