The act of conception, the creation of a distinct DNA inherently denies the numerous other possible DNA combinations that could have occurred from the parents' DNA.

>"what even is a person anyway"
There. Fixed it for you.
@Greannach @Eris
I love how you guys keep conflating stuff. He's with "person = human", you're with "fetus = baby". Keep going.
@Greannach @Eris
What purpose would it fulfill to state the distinction, if Einstein over here things his foot is a person?
@alyx “the distinction”
This is very misleading. It implies you have command over the language such that you can unilaterally decide what “the distinction” between humans and persons is. It’s a Jewish redefinition, language-loading game.
@NEETzsche @Eris @Greannach
Command? No. A better understanding of the language, maybe.
@Eris @NEETzsche @Greannach
So "the earth is flat" is on equal value to "the earth is a sphere"?
@alyx >So “the earth is flat” is on equal value to “the earth is a sphere”?
If we’re in a flat vs round earth debate, yes. You don’t think certain positions effectively get an autowin when they end up debated, do you?

@alyx “a better understanding of the language, maybe”
I highly doubt it, since we’re all writing to each other in the same language and I can efficiently categorize your word games.
@Eris Anyway, the only coherent argument I can think of that abortion isn’t a type of murder is that, depending on your jurisdiction, abortion might be legal. Murder is generally considered to be illegal homicide, not merely premeditated homicide.
That’s a legalistic argument, though, and it’s me playing devil’s advocate. We should totally banhammer abortion as a form of murder at the Federal level, femoids get rekt
@Greannach @Eris @alyx I define murder as “homicide that pisses God off.” Abortion qualifies.
