Comment: Technically...the answer is extremely simple AND clear-cut
Technically...the answer is extremely simple AND clear-cut
This is one thing I've always laughed at on the topic of "when life begins." How is there even a debate on this? Even the dumbest individual can tell you what "life" is. Most democrats believe it is when the baby is "born". At the same time, most democrats believe far more in "science" (generalized term) than republicans. There is a clear contradiction.
Life does have a scientific definition. Life is literally anything with the "capacity for growth." As any of you scientists know, any organism is considered living as soon as it possesses the ability to develop or grow (which is directly when it is created or formed). So...why does everyone randomly consider it different with children? Simply because they don't want to feel conviction for it; they want to pick and choose to their benefit.
Like it or not, "life" exists as soon as something possesses a capacity for growth; which means in any stage of development it is obviously "living." A baby is constantly in a state of development and possesses the capacity for growth (and demonstrates such) upon the first point of recognition.
It baffles me how idiotic some individuals can be to pick and choose their definitions to suit them. Just like politicians "picking and choosing" the Constitution. It is what it is. You can debate whether you should like it or not, but it doesn't change the fact that "it is."
