Abortion

"None of these arguments refute the notion that a fetus is a person. " My definitions should have cleared up why a fetus is not a human being. "On choice, I am not claiming that the value or choice of the mother is less than the choice of the fetus. They are equal, " One is an unborn child and another is a fully developed woman. You are saying an undeveloped, Unborn child has the same rights as a fully developed woman? "They are equal, But the choice of the mother is to kill the fetus and the choice of the fetus is to live. " The choice of the mother over rules the choice of the fetus. This is because the reliance of the fetus. Without the mother the fetus would not exist. Due to this the mother is well in her right to remove the fetus. "Since the fetus is a person as of now" Not a human being. When I look up the definition of in Google this comes up: a human being regarded as an individual. By this a person and human being are linked. By my above definition that was about human being should help you realise why a fetus is not a person or human being. "Then that argument is similar to say that the choice of a murderer is less than the choice of their chosen victim. " Context does matter and this case a developed individual is not taking the life of another developed individual. The fetus relies on mother to live. By the person definition above if the fetus was an individual why is it reliant on the mother to survive? "Because it does not argue against the rights of the fetus or its personhood. " I thought I made it clear human being requires to have certain attributes I have also demonstrated here the link between person and human being I don't see how you have a point. "The fetus has a right to live and its rights are not subject to the experiences of the mother. " Why? Because you said so. I want some clarification on where you state live starts. "If the fetus is a person, Then taking its life equates to taking an adult life. " The difference is the fetus is not developed. The adult is which is why it is called an adult and the fetus is called a fetus. I would also like to define fetus: an unborn or unhatched offspring of a mammal, In particular an unborn human more than eight weeks after conception. (Google: fetus define) How is a fetus a person without being born? "My argument for the person-hood of a fetus is that there are no morally relevant differences between an adult" This depends on the morals and the context of the abortion. Would like you to set parameters on what you consider right and wrong in context of abortions. "then if it was born early infanticide would still be justified. " A fetus requires the being to be unborn. If the being is born it is no longer a fetus. Everything else about the size part is that yes both are individuals the 4 year old and the 32 year old. "Level of development does not have anything to do with the value of a human being. " A fetus cannot survive by itself, Can't speak, Articulate speech, Have an upright stance or the superior mental development compared to other animals that I clearly listed earlier requirements to be a human being. "An adult does not have the authority to abuse or harm a child even though it is much more developed than the child. " Child is born. A fetus is unborn. "Where you are has nothing to do with your value or rights. " Environment: the surroundings or conditions in which a person, Animal, Or plant lives or operates. (Google: Environment define) What if the potential child is being brought in a middle of a war? What if the potential child is being brought in a contaminated area (Chernobyl)? There are two instances where it does matter what the environment the woman is in. "But environment does not determine human value. " If the environment makes it nearly impossible to deliver a child the environment does matter. "If a fetus is not a person then abortion is similar to a Kidney transplant or other bodily choices" A kidney is a body part. A fetus is an unborn human lacking in many requirements to be considered a human being. "If the assertion that a fetus is a person is refuted" I think I have. Would like a response.
