The "it's not a biology question." bothered me, but more so his logic was off.<BR/><BR/>If you are taking the baby as alive at birth, then arbitrarily saying that he was alive the "day before and the day before that" you eventually end up at Conception. Since he's not referencing biology at all you end up with "obviously the baby was alive the "day before" conception, which is just silly. There is no stopping point to the cycle.<BR/><BR/>Furthermore, there are people who contend that the child is not alive until brainwaves are present, until it's heart starts beating, until it has taken it's first breath, until he can stand, walk or drive. Any one of those points becomes an arbitrary spot to stop the "day before" cycle and allow the killing of the child.<BR/><BR/>In order to determine when something is alive, you must look to (true) science, which says that at the moment the egg and the sperm meet there is a new being. Whether it is a mouse or human, it's alive at the point of conception according to any biology textbook. To say otherwise you would have to rewrite the conditions for being alive - and good luck doing that!<BR/><BR/>At conception a child has all the characteristics of a living organism; therefore it is alive.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07592851515207841008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1874284971533997218.post-42430447452914151082008-04-15T21:57:00.000-04:002008-04-15T21:57:00.000-04:00For any who want it, here is the link to the scene...For any who want it, here is the link to the scene in question on Google Video:<BR/><BR/>http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-256907825515216116<BR/><BR/>Heck, that doesn't even sound convincing to me, and I'm on their side of the question!
