The remora of JPP
Embarrassing for you.Excellent random question. Can you generate some more?

Why? If you can't figure out the first one it's not really worth the effort.Excellent random question. Can you generate some more?
You are a math denier, just to maintain your killing supremacy. We have been over this many times. You don't get to "disagree" with math. You've had every opportunity to explain how { customer who is a pregnant woman } is somehow not a subset of { customer }, but rather than honestly try, and rather than honestly admit that { customer } is, in fact, the superset, you remain totally dishonest.I'm not 'avoiding' saying that, I and many other people simply don't believe that abortions qualify as contracted killings, full stop.
I haven't seen it. @gfm7175 and I are the only ones using the term "living human" while you specifically complain about it. Why do you complain about a living human being called a living human? In fact, you threw a hissie-fit and pouted like a toddler. Why?One thing I will say, however, is that I sometimes -do- use the term 'living human' in abortion discussions
We already have a term for that, i.e. "the stages of human development."- I think it is at times useful to have a word that groups together different stages of human development.
I prefer coffee.As an aside, I decided to look up the definition of sperm and was deeply rewarded when I came across this simple yet powerful definition:
**
The male seed of any kind, as the semen or seminal fluid of the higher vertebrates, the male spawn or milt of the lower vertebrates, or the seminal elements of any animal, containing the male germs, or spermatozoa.
**
Omniscience fallacy; you do not speak for anyone but yourself.No one disputes that seeds are part of the first stage of development of plants.
Similarly, neither sperm nor eggs are a "life stage" of any living human who doesn't yet exist.Similarly, I think it stands to reason that sperms and eggs should be seen as the first stage of human development.
Thank you. So nothing prior is a "life stage".As someone else pointed out, the 2 must be joined to actually create a new human being,
Let's analyze your logic. Is the sexual activity of the father and the mother a "life stage" of the child? Hint: it is absolutely crucial for a new human being to reach maturity, and it occurred prior to the child being formed with unique DNA.but that doesn't change the fact that both are absolutely crucial for a new human being to reach maturity.
There you go again, denying the killing involved in a contract killing. Your denial of the killing is indefensible, your rejection of math is absurd and your killing supremacy is transparent.There you go again, putting in the word killing.
I think you know full well that you deny that killing is killing whenever such acknowledgement threatens your killing supremacy. The only possible response to you is "fuck you." Don't try to bully me into not recognizing the killing of living humans who haven't committed any crime.I think you know full well at this point that I don't believe that any form of the word kill is appropriate when talking about the removal of a fetus from a female's body,
FTFY. Killing Supremacy.so long as it was the female's wish to [hire a killer-doctor to put a hit on her own child].
Fuck you. Don't pretend to control what I say. If you believe that you must control any discussion in which you enter, then you never intended to have a discussion in the first place. You simply intended to preach your killing supremacy, and your indefensible advocacy for the killing of living humans for nothing more than convenience.Had you used a term like "ending the life of a living human", we could have continued your line of conversation easier.
You don't speak for any others. Your EVASION and DISHONESTY is your own.The bottom line, as far as I and others are concerned,
FTFY. Your position is indefensible.... is that the question of whether it's ok to [ kill a living human ] depends in great part on [ensuring the living human being killed gets no say in the matter].
There are some steps ...There's some steps between sperm and fetus, but anyway...
@Scott's argument, in a nutshell:Ergo, I've been very clear and unambiguous about what child means. I'm not referring to any particular stage of human growth/development. Rather, I'm referring to the completely brand new set of DNA that has been formed and has been growing/developing into a new and separate living human. I'm referring to genealogy. It doesn't get any clearer than that.
The standard leftist tactic in discussions is to shift conveniently between "what should be" and "what is" as if they are interchangeable. Laws can change to make "what is" into "what should be."I decided to see what the law had to say about the definition of a living human, if anything.
Correct. I presume that you acknowledge that none of these animals you mention are living humans, which is what I am discussing, yes?Again, there are many animals who have fetal heartbeats, but no one's clamoring that they too get "fetal rights" as far as I know.
Incorrect. The father and the mother have DNA that is distinct from their respective parents.You know who else doesn't have DNA that is distinct from the father/mother? The father and mother.
I presume that you understand how the parents aren't the grandparents.Does that suddenly mean that they're not living humans -.-?
Good grief, if I "harvest" a deer, did I kill it?
Another great pivot. Just because you didn't say that you disagreed doesn't mean that you agreed, or even acknowledged his point. You are currently operating under the totally dishonest assumption that the living human inside the mother is not a separate and distinct living human from the mother, and you avoid mentioning your assumption because you know that it would instantly reveal the indefensible nature of your killing supremacy.If I'd disagreed with Yakuda's point, I would have said so.
I'm discussing the "should" in "Should we, as a society, be killing living humans who have not committed any crime and who have not expressed any desire to die." You say "Hell yeah, if there is some convenience to be gained." I disagree. I have asked you to explain your position many times but you refuse, knowing that your killing supremacy is indefensible.Whether a pregnant female is legally permitted to remove her embryo or fetus depends on which jurisdiction said female is in.
Exactly. You believe that women should have killing supremacy and be allowed to kill their own living children ... and I do not. You don't see the pure evil of your position.We disagree on what the female's legal rights -should- be.
I don't think you're really thinking this whole thing through- think of this from the perspective of a living human who is about to be executed for nothing more than someone else's convenience. Imagine being that living human who is standing between a woman who has sufficient resources and family members to adequately raise him ... and her convenience of being able to continue irresponsibly fucking various men as she pleases without any accountability for her actions and decisions. Well, as you can imagine, you are going to lose that battle every time as she hires a killer-doctor to snuff the life out of you, her own child, and to dispose of the remaining pieces of your body in a landfill or through a sewer (as could be done in California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin or Wyoming ... or most of the rest of the planet)think of this from the perspective of a mother or family unit that doesn't have enough resources to feed themselves or their family already.
Who do you think you are fooling? I know you reject math, but don't you think it's totally absurd to assert that allowing all children to remain alive through birth and thereafter causes more death than does killing all of them in the womb?So -more- people may die as a result of not having an abortion instead of less.
There are many, and once again you deliberately didn't see any of them. That should be enough to tell everyone what those studies found.Now, I fully admit that I know of no studies that study this issue,
Allowing someone to remain alive increases one's life expectancy, it does not decrease one's life expectancy, and this in turn increases average life expectancy, it does not decrease it. All of the math that you reject says so.but I just think you should consider that what you think would increase average life expectancy might actually decrease it.
Aaaahhhh, your insistence on avoiding the biological term "living human" for the ill-defined and not understood term "natural person" simply underscores your intention to remain completely dishonest in the name of defending your killing supremacy. How shitty of you.And this is -especially- true for those who don't consider an embryo or fetus to be a natural person.
Just remember that you were pretending to be an expert. Remember that the next time you try to give me pushback.I had never heard of systematic risk before you mentioned it.
It exists in all aspects of human society. You were misusing it while discussing abortion, prompting a correction from yours truly.Apparently, it's used in finance and economics.
You most certainly were. In fact, you raised the topic.We're not talking about either here.
I think we can agree that the moment one accepts the risk in deciding to carry out deliberate activity, one has made one's plan, even if that plan is to do nothing special.I think we can agree that one should always try to assess the risk/reward ratio
Nope. Once the risk is accepted, one should be held accountable for engaging in the deliberate activity. No woman should be allowed to have her own child killed, no matter how much convenience is at stake.and only take risks where the ratio is favourable for the reward side of the equation.
Let me guess, you value the fetus the most because he has essentially all of his life ahead of him, and death at this point would represent the maximum loss possible, whereas the value of a middle-aged man is less because he has only a fraction of his life remaining, i.e. the unproductive part, and death at this point wouldn't represent that much of a loss, yes?I value the different stages of human life differently.
Most men would agree that masturbating is a crime ... considering there are so many women in the world.Most would agree that fertile males masturbating shouldn't be a crime,
Sperm are not living humans. No heartbeat, not a life stage, and you don't get to "disagree."even though millions of sperms may meet their end every time it happens.
Ova are not living humans. No heartbeat, not a life stage, and you don't get to "disagree."Similarly, few would consider it a crime every time an unfertile egg is flushed out of fertile female's body.
FTFY. Now you have unique DNA, distinct from the father and the mother.Apparently, things change for a fair amount of people if that same egg were to be fertilized by [a sperm].
Believe me, I am very familiar with their positions, which are religious in foundation. Having said that, I find their position to align very well with mine, i.e. I oppose the killing of living humans who have not committed any crime and who have not expressed any desire to die. Among my axioms are:As I've mentioned previously, both Into the Night and gfm believe that this would be murder.
Strange. Why would you expect me to answer one of your questions? When you start being honest, stop being EVASIVE, start engaging in rational, adult conversation and answer my questions as I have done for all of yours, perhaps I will feel inclined to answer your questions in return.I find it interesting that you have decided not to answer this question as of yet.
