no, they're people, they've been born.
Do they depend soely on the body of
someone? Nope

as you mean either inside or out of the
womb then yes, location determines
personhood. A premature baby of 30weeks
gestation is a person. A 30week old fetus
is not.

then only a human born in the usa is a

I don’t think so, try again.

you are a retard... In fact, retards

Personhood, in the .U.S, is defined by
birth. Regardless of your nationality.
Fucking
fundies.
so you don't have to be born in the usa to
be a citizen in the usa?

yes, well that is nice for you, but not
everyone shares your opinion, and most
people would not want to be killed merely
for being asleep or
unconscious.
again, unconsciousness, comas, and sleep
are three different things;
thanks for bringing unconsciousness into
the mix.
Sleep: you lready know the reasons why.
Coma: again, you know the reasons.
Unconsciousness: it's still a person,
they're born, they've had experiences.
They are still capable of breathing on
their own (for the most part). But
unconsciousness is different from sleep.
Different brainwave patterns.

so what is the difference between a man
who is unconscious for a period of time
and a foetus, both are humans and both are
unconscious both demonstrate no
personality, and the only difference is
their location, hence location is how you
define personhood.

so what you are saying is if you had a son

to begin to exist independantly when
coming outside of your mothers body (and
no, I don't believe an aborted fetus is
'born' so therefore a person along the sam
lines of when a woman miscarries that
embryo/fetus is not 'born' as it ceases to
exist)

Lol baha!!
Okay. I seriously got a good laugh out
of this one:
first off. His original statement was
that the brain doesn't have to be attached
to the body to function. When asked to
explain how that's possible, this is his
remark:
Quote:
well if I cut
your arm off, your brain will still work
won’t it.
it makes absolutely no sense!! He
obviously has no sense of reason, is
completely incapable of backing up his
statements and beliefs, and definitely
doesn't possess the ability to even for a
second form a truly intellectual thought.
It saddens me to think that i'm not as
active in the debate because I can't stand
reading his simply idiotic retorts.
Sigh.

there is no "person" until the lung fill
with air. And that is according to
genesis too.
so, a newborn is not a person until it is
able to breathe?
Then, you agree with abortion even after
birth!

Hey people, how and why do you still keep

I think we need to pull the plug on him(?)
or get him back to that mental facility he
ran away from and I have worked in those
places before and noone was that nuckin

Don't do it. It hurts our

well it is common knowledge that newborns
don’t breathe immediately after birth,
so in those minutes prior to breathing you
would agree with abortion.

You really should stop assuming things and
actually read what's written in front of
you (and not be so selective about what
you respond to also).
You're either taking the piss or extremely
stupid - i'm not sure which to be honest.
All of this about personhood as been
explained countless times, why not chose a
new line of debate?

You clearly assumed that attachment had
something to do with it. A fetus is a
baby/person when born. What exactly is
difficult to understand about that?
