The question is not when "life" begins. "Life" never stops. The sperm is just as much "life" as the fertilized egg is.
Sperm= man's disposable 1use body part, dies in 72hrs. Same dna.
Egg = woman's disposable 1use body part, dies in ovulation. Same dna.
LGBTQEmbryo+ = unique dna potentially growing for 72 years, many parts, many uses.
"Life never stops" sounds like a communist fantasy to sing kumbaya to.
"The sperm is just as much life as fertilized egg is" no, sperm is meant to die and had its purpose, which is not to be alive, but rip its dna apart to combine with female dna.
Sperm has no life. Sperm is not alive. No scientist agrees with you, hell i am the patriarchy, i pretend my sperm are starship troopers, but no it isnt life.
It is not a tadpole.
You are very very confused.
"The sperm is just as much life as fertilized egg is"
Come on, you can admit that was some bullshit.
You don't keep sperm in a jar like Sea Monkeys, do you?Quote
The real question is when personhood starts. Cells don't have rights. People have rights. When does the fetus become a person with legal rights, and when does that fetus's right to life override the right to bodily autonomy are the two key questions.
As for when a fetus becomes a person, there is no cogent argument for personhood in the very early stages. It is, for better or worse, a clump of cells.
No that's not the question. That's the word games of leftists.
Personhood = identity politics
No scientist would say personhood is a scientific argument. It's a social argument. And social arguments are opinions and mostly exagerated when the big social issues are solved: racism, sexism, theft.
Legality about when is a citizen a citizen is the actual argument. Not what is human or life. Thats a fake argument/distraction.
Technically written word of the constitution sides with pro-abortionists in the word "born citizen" but contradicts itself with right to life liberty etc. But i never said America's constitution is the final formula for human rights. It's a work in progress.
Life has no criteria of definition besides movement/animation.
And what is defined as homosapien is clear: DNA.
We protect homosapiens, is what I hope a government of homosapiens does.
