Do you think life begins at conception?

Life: a)The property or quality that distinguishes living organisms from dead organisms and inanimate matter, manifested in functions such as metabolism, growth, reproduction, and response to stimuli or adaptation to the environment originating from within the organism. b)The characteristic state or condition of a living organism.

And google “Scientific proof that life begins at conception” I guess…

There is no more important moment in the subsequent growth and development of a human being than when 23 chromosomes of the father join with 23 chromosomes of the mother to form a unique, 46-chromosomed individual, with a gender, who had previously simply not existed. Period. No debate.

And to say that “size” is a determinant of humanity, of course, is an unscientific reason to deny an embryo his or her human status. In any event, it is an embryological reality, which no embryology textbook on earth denies, that at the moment of fertilization a new human being is formed.

1. Living things are highly organized.

2. All living things have an ability to acquire materials and energy.

3. All living things have an ability to respond to their environment.

4. All living things have an ability to reproduce.

5. All living things have an ability to adapt.

According to this elementary definition of life, life begins at fertilization, when a sperm unites with an oocyte. From this moment, the being is highly organized, has the ability to acquire materials and energy, has the ability to respond to his or her environment, has the ability to adapt, and has the ability to reproduce (the cells divide, then divide again, etc., and barring pathology and pending reproductive maturity has the potential to reproduce other members of the species). Non-living things do not do these things. Even before the mother is aware that she is pregnant, a distinct, unique life has begun his or her existence inside her.

Abortion is merely convenience.

No one is saying it isnt alive. Quite obviously it is alive… Like I said bacteria are alive.

2 arms, 2 legs, ribs do not make a baby… it’s on the way to becoming a baby, but it isnt there quite yet…

No one is talking about size. It is about when the fetus can survive on its own, making it a seperate individual person. Until that point it is part of the mother, because it cannot survive without her, it is part of her body. Why shouldnt she have the right to do what she wants to her body?

Well if most abortions happen at week 7, then I guess its perfect timing because all the organs havent developed yet?

Look, bacteria is living, worms are living, but so what? should we continue to allow them to survive in our body because they’re alive?

Do you not kill insects? Do you eat meat? (that is killing…)

The fetus is surviving off the woman, much like a parasite… If the mother chooses to abort, it is part of her body, and it is her choice…

Once it can survive on its own, then that it is a different issue, until then it is part of the mother and therefore the mother’s choice…

No ma’am. You made this claim. YOU back it up.

They haven’t developed completely, but notice I said “the so called ‘blobs of tissue’ have 2 arms, ribs, 2 legs, hands and a head” and that was directly from someone who knows what they look like at that point in time so its still killing a baby. Also, babies are completely different then insects and animals, its a human life. and yes the mother can choose but the baby doesnt even get a cance to live.

Please define “life” and show us the data where “Scientists have proved that life begins at conception.”

Not when it comes to this.

I didn’t think you could substantiate your claim. Thanks.
