Is a fetus a person? And at what stage of pregnancy does a fetus receive personhood status?
@Eris
Why is it a person? What makes someone a person?
@Eris
In that case we have a fundamental different understanding of what constitutes personhood. As such, this discussion cannot proceed any further. Also, you'll have some explaining to do when humanity discovers intelligent extraterrestrials, of our level or higher.
>In that case we have a fundamental different understanding of what constitutes personhood.
In that case you are insane and all your arguments are incoherent. Thank you for proving my point.
@Eris
I didn't even make an argument. I only asked some question to gauge your level of intelligence and open mindedness to see if it's even worth making an argument.
@Eris
I asked about personhood, not humanity.
@Eris
Nope. You can call a strand of hair human, but you can't call it a person.
@Eris
Congrats, you just agreed with me that "person" is not the same as "human". As you just discovered yourself, "human" is a subclass of "person".
@Eris
Saying "human object is part of person" excludes the other way around being possible. Which makes it impossible for person = human.
>Saying "human object is part of person" excludes the other way around being possible.
No it doesn't. My hair is a human. It is a person. That person is me.
@Eris
You literally started with "person is a DISCRETE human being" and ended up with "hair is person" JUST so you don't admit you could be wrong about something.
@Eris
You gaslight yourself in changing your own definition of "person".
You are pre-emptively saying "your argument is ridiculous" without saying how and assuming i will just agree. Very silly way to behave.
@Eris
You've started our discussion by stating that distinct human beings is what constitutes a person.
Now you're stating that body parts of a human (as opposed to a full distinct human being) is what constitutes a person.
You're contradicting yourself.
Not to mention that the first thing people will think about when hearing "person" is a distinct individual functioning mind. It's why we don't really call a skeleton or a putrefying body a person anymore. And last I checked, your foot doesn't have a mind of it's own.
@Eris
A slice of cake is a slice of cake. It is not a distinct individual cake. A slice of cake does not share all properties of the full cake. Yes, it does share some properties, but not all of them.
>A slice of cake is a slice of cake. It is not a distinct individual cake.
I didn't ask if it was a distinct individual cake. I asked if it is cake.
If it is cake (it is) then it is necessarily part of some distinct individual cake.

Is fapping and cumming in a tissue the same as an abortion? Checking your definitions on everything now... who knows what the hell people will come up with next.
>Is fapping and cumming in a tissue the same as an abortion?
No, of course not.
A sperm cell is human, but which human is it? If you kill the sperm cell, does that human die?
A fetus is human, but which human is it? If you kill the fetus, does that human die?
@Eris @critical @NEETzsche
Or in other words, "human" on itself answers nothing. Again, we need a different word to easily discuss these things.
>noo i can't empathize with the fact that you think differently than me and i can't interpret your words using your viewpoint you have to couch everything you say in my language and my frame!!!!
all leftists think like this its amazing
@NEETzsche @critical @Eris
A dead body can be a human being. Doesn't solve things. Now we have to start saying "an alive human being, that has a distinct personality from another human body that shares the same DNA, and looks the same, and that could also be a clone".
@NEETzsche @critical @Eris
Here's the fun part: how do you know I don't consider some or all abortion to be killing/murder? I didn't even get near the topic itself. You'll assumed things of me and called me a murderer.
Can you stay on a point for longer than one exchange so we can actually get somewhere?
