Once again, a fetus become a "human being, baby, whatever" when it is developed enough to survive on its own.

And no, a fetus, does not always have the arms legs and whatnot. At first, it is just a blob. Like it or not!

Hotasfrick, okay lets see you prove that it only becomes a human being at viability!

Lets see the medical documentation with the medical term - blob

such a dehumanizing post - it is offensive to call me a former blob very ageist

So when do you celebrate your birthday? Do you know the date you were conceived?

Birthdays are not scientific but cultural celebrations - in china and some other eastern countries they celebrate conception.

I'm glad you agree with me then. If I am a person, then you are an insane, demented, deluded, sadistic psychopath.

O.K samie, let's see you "prove" that a fetus is a human being upon conception? You cannot. It is all opinion. And please, don't resort to quoting someone and calling it fact. It simply makes you look foolish.
At least I accept the fact that my opinions are just that, my opinions. I don't try to turn them into fact by quoting someone.

They would, wouldn't they?
People used to state it was a fact that the earth is flat! (some still do).

I am not sure they did state it as fact. So your saying that because no one had been around it was fact it was flat...

Even though biology has clonned human beings and studied life in all forms to the point of being able to change genetic disorders is exactly the same as those who never experimented on the world saying the earth is flat...No your argumetn dosnt hold water sorry.

Some still say the earth is flat some still say a zygote isnt a human being. Some even say(peter singer) a new born baby isnt a human being until 28 days after birth. Is every step of life ones own interpretation or does science tell us who is alive - if so then why dont you believe them when they tell you a zygote is a living human being - maybe you want to rationalise abortion.

It is not a question of believing what someone else says.
I believe a fertilised egg has human dna and could in some circumstances become a human being. But it is completely ludicrous to me to say that a bunch of cells is a human being. It simply isn't.

Other people belive different things. Like, some people believe that a god created the world in 7 days and the dinosaurs never existed. This is something they teach in some us schools!!!

Yes, each of us believes some things and thinks they are facts.

Or are you saying that there are some things that *everyone* believes is a fact?

Ah yes, back to ontology. Or if you really do mean "weather people", then meteorology.

But the weather around here has been lovely lately anyway!

Okay so if I form an opinion and I say that it is a fact, then it is a fact? Alright! Sounds good to me!
