Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

For example, the domestic horse has 64 chromosomes, while the wild horse (Przewalski's horse) has 66. The two can not only interbreed, but produce fertile offspring.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

And do you know what happens when they reproduce? The new born goes back to the original... it does not stay as the new. The new is never passed down because of, guess what, natural selection. The new chromosome count is weeded out. You said it yourself that they reproduce fertile offspring.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

I know that you are not really bright person but I don't know how to simplify it even more. I'll try to find something with pictures.

English is my fourth language and I'm replying to you from my cellphone.http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2920838/
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

I guess you missed the part that said, "Chromosome abnormalities are major factors in disease, reproductive failure, miscarriage and infertility."
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

Link I gave you has about 40 pages and 89 references. It took me about 3 hour to go trough it and understand what is it all about and I'm qualified.You've replied complete bullshit, cut out from context.... after 16 minutes.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

See their they go again using this kill word. For something to be killed it has to be alive. A fetus, is by no medical definition alive.What do you call alive, maybe we can match these terms up?
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

A fetus, is by no medical definition alive.Last time I check there was no official statement as to whether the fetus is alive or not. It would logically seem as it does.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

You're right. I was caught up in the act of responding, and didn't think that one through.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

Are plants alive? Living simply means that it can take in from its environment and grow and sustain itself, in a sense. What does this sense mean? It means that it can take nutrients from its surroundings and keep itself functioning. A fetus and embryo are both taking in, though it be from the mother, and grow and sustain themselves. Therefore, they are alive.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

Are plants alive?Yes. Living simply means that it can take in from its environment and grow and sustain itself, in a sense.Yes, this is the definition thank, you for that. What does this sense mean?I assume you're getting at the fetus being alive, and I'd say yes. It means that it can take nutrients from its surroundings and keep itself functioning.A fetus can do that so I think I'm right, yes! A fetus and embryo are both taking in, though it be from the mother, and grow and sustain themselves.Yes, I was right!Therefore, they are alive.You done? We've established the fetus is alive, that was no debate at all. What we can't seem to agree on for some reason is that the fetus, is not a human being it's a human fetus.Get this, semen, is in humans. It is in fact alive, in how it takes nutrients from it's surrounding, and it moves on it's own, it's a cell of a human, and it's alive. Does that mean it's a human being? Hell no! It's a human semen, still. A human has characteristics, that semen, and a fetus just don't have...yet.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

You done? We've established the fetus is alive, that was no debate at all. What we can't seem to agree on for some reason is that the fetus, is not a human being it's a human fetus.A human being is simply a human. A being is that which "is". It comes from the root of to be. Therefore a human being is semantically "is human". A human fetus is, therefore, a human being.Get this, semen, is in humans. It is in fact alive, in how it takes nutrients from it's surrounding, and it moves on it's own, it's a cell of a human, and it's alive. Does that mean it's a human being? Hell no! It's a human semen, still. A human has characteristics, that semen, and a fetus just don't have...yet.Sperm is from the parent; a fetus has it's own genetic makeup. It doesn't matter if it is a person or not. The mother has no justified reason to kill the being. Furthermore, the law of biogenesis clearly states that which "is" is from that which it came from in regards to reproduction. Therefore, because it is a new organism with its own genetic code, then it is a human being.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

It could be argued that the mother has no objectively justified reason to allow a fetus to live in her body, either. Any way you slice it, you're digging into subjective morality.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

It could be argued that the mother has no objectively justified reason to allow a fetus to live in her body, either. Any way you slice it, you're digging into subjective morality.Morality is objective. Even if one were to argue that the child is an independent human being and that the mother is simply making it such that she is not the carrier of it, which makes the child die, since it cannot survive, it does not make it right. I don't care if she wants to have a choice about what to do: keep it or not. She has an obligation to do it.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

Morality is not objective, it is subjective to the individual. Just because there is a general consensus that a certain thing is immoral does not make it so objectively.A culture that practices child sacrifice, for example, may be in conflict with your personal morals, but well in keeping with their own. Who are you to tell them they're wrong?I have to ask- objectively speaking, what obligation does the mother have to the child? And I mean objectively. That means that religion, culture, and legality do not apply, as whether something is accepted by a religion, a culture, or a government are subjective and specific to said groups. An atheist (or a member of another religion, for that matter) doesn't answer to god. A member of another culture does not answer to the values of your own culture. A member of another nation does not answer to the laws of your own.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

Morality is not objective, it is subjective to the individual. Just because there is a general consensus that a certain thing is immoral does not make it so objectively.Morality is objectively objective. This means that we all have a sense of what morality is, but we do not always do it, making it appear as if morality is subjective.A culture that practices child sacrifice, for example, may be in conflict with your personal morals, but well in keeping with their own. Who are you to tell them they're wrong?And they would know deep down that they are doing wrong, to a certain sense.I have to ask- objectively speaking, what obligation does the mother have to the child? And I mean objectively. That means that religion, culture, and legality do not apply, as whether something is accepted by a religion, a culture, or a government are subjective and specific to said groups. An atheist (or a member of another religion, for that matter) doesn't answer to god. A member of another culture does not answer to the values of your own culture. A member of another nation does not answer to the laws of your own.It is her obligation to give birth to the child.Wait, what? Religion is that which displays what objectivity is.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

Morality is by no means objective. Different individuals have different values. Different groups have different values. Different cultures have different values. Different nations have different values.I highly doubt that you could find any two people who had an identical concept of morality. It is not an appearance of being subjective- it is in fact subjective.For what reason do you feel justified in making the claim that a culture that practices child sacrifice would see that action as being wrong?You did not answer my question, so I repeat it. Objectively speaking, what obligation does the mother have to the child? In other words, what obligates her to carry the child to term and give birth?Religion is many things, but I contend that it has never been, nor ever will be objective in the slightest.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

Morality is by no means objective. Different individuals have different values. Different groups have different values. Different cultures have different values. Different nations have different values.Everyone has the same values. The issue is whether they accept their deep moral basis, or whether they don't. The law is written on our hearts.I highly doubt that you could find any two people who had an identical concept of morality. It is not an appearance of being subjective- it is in fact subjective.We all have the same sense of morality. The issue is whether they accept what is morally good, or whether they transpose their own desires over it, claiming that to be moral.For what reason do you feel justified in making the claim that a culture that practices child sacrifice would see that action as being wrong?They have a deep down understanding of what they are doing; everyone has a deep sense of that which is good and just and godly. The question is whether they want to accept it or not: whether they decide to rebel or not.You did not answer my question, so I repeat it. Objectively speaking, what obligation does the mother have to the child? In other words, what obligates her to carry the child to term and give birth?It is morally her obligation to care for those who cannot care for themselves. This is not just her own child, but also everyone she knows. We are intended to be God's image: care for and love others. We would not be loving this child if we throw it to the side, saying that it can care for itself. That is not love at all. Religion is many things, but I contend that it has never been, nor ever will be objective in the slightest.It is that which helps us understand that which is morally written on our hearts.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

Nope. Everybody does not have the same values. I don't know of anyone else who believes that. If you are asserting that all values are the same and morality is universal, please provide some evidence to that end.Sorry, but your assertion that this hypothetical woman is under some form of obligation is based on your own moral framework. As such, it is not really applicable to anyone else, except insofar as legislation has been passed supporting some issues of morality that are generally agreed upon.She is not under any obligation to love that child, and she may not even believe in love.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

Double post.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

Oh, and just as a clarification: a cell is not a human. A human is the collection of cells that aggregate into one. So regardless of whether this number of cells is tiny or many, the collection of cells is the human. From a secular standpoint of course.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

Oh, and just as a clarification: a cell is not a human.Thank you, that's kind of the point I've been making. A fetus is cells, not yet a human. A human is the collection of cells that aggregate into one.So two cells is a human?So regardless of whether this number of cells is tiny or many, the collection of cells is the human. From a secular standpoint of course.So you believe two cells IS a human. Hm.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

Thank you, that's kind of the point I've been making. A fetus is cells, not yet a human.A fetus is not a cell but a collection of cells.So two cells is a human?Is they have aggregated together with a new genetic sequence, then yes.So you believe two cells IS a human. Hm.Yes, as long as they are not identical to another organism, if you are thinking of sperm being separate from the host.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

I mean hair is more than one cell, so it too must be a human I got you. I've seen the light!
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

I already addressed that: a simple collection of cells must be separate in DNA from the host organism to be considered human.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

I told you I saw the light. I completely got it now.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

Saliva also has human genetic code .
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

It has the genetic code of a human. I don't know people can deny this.Does this imply that all human genetic codes are the same?What else is it, if not a human? Is it a giraffe? Is it a penguin? Is it ant? Is it ocelot? Is it a hippopotamus? Is it a rhino?If not a human? It could logically be everything there; few and far in between. Technically.No, not all at once.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

This is a rediculous question from the standpoint of science. It is simple, the sperm has half a chromosome, the egg has the other half, when they meet they form a complete human chromosome. A new DNA structure is made that is unique and this makes the fetus an individual being. Sure it isn't fully developed yet, but neither is a 5 year old.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

So because it contains human DNA that makes it human? Only 10% of the human body is actually human cells. The remaining 90% of cells are foreign bacteria, some of which are necessary for the health of our body. So basically, if it's only a human because it has human DNA wouldn't it be true that only 10% of the human body has natural rights? Wouldn't it then per se be alright to kill those 90%?I don't really think all this gobbledygook about the human genome and human DNA really does much to explain why the fetus is a human being.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

The point isnt that it has a DNA code in it, the point is its a new DNA code different from the mothers and is multiplying which means two things: since it has all the information to make a fully functional human beings (something a blood cell or skin cell doesnt have) and since it is growing that means it is alive and human. Second, since its DNA is different from the mothers it is not part of the mother therefore she has no right to kill it.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

I am afraid that doesn't really answer my implied question. You say we haven't got the right to kill a human fetus because it has the information to make a fully functional human being. But those 90% of cells I am talking about haven't got the information to develop into a human being, so shouldn't it be alright to kill them, just like it's alright to kill deadly diseases with penicilin?It appears to me, that since we don't think it's alright to kill those 90% a human being is constituted by something more than genetics. So since genetics aren't sufficient to argue that something is human, your genetical argument is not sufficient to argue that a fetus is a human being.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

You should edit your debate, Lizzie. I think you intended to ask "Do you believe a human embryo/fetus is a human being."It was clear (to me) what you were asking, but you can see how the trolls jumped at the chance to create some diversions with it too. I more than believe a human being in the embryonic and or fetal stage of their life is a human being. They are human organisms just as we all are and just as we all were when we too were in that stage of our own developments. Just as an amoeba is a living creature and a living being (even though they are only one cell in size). So, too is a human being when we are about that size. Finally, the clincher (in my view) is the fact that a human being in the first days of their life, growth, development, etc. is the young of the parents who created them. A biological father becomes a biological father at conception.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

but you can see how the trolls jumped at the chance to create some diversions with it too.Yeah you sure did jump on the chance to create some diversions.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

What has the potential to be therefore is.You are stunting out a life, possibilities, simply because you can't handle the idea of being responsible. If you want your body - we have C Sections and the ability to prevent scars. If you don't want your child, even if the product of some horrible act that is certainly not that child's fault, you can adopt.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

An embryo/fetus is certainly human, and given they are not a portion of a whole, but rather their own whole (as opposed to, say, fingernails or dead skin), they would be a human being as well.The better question would be, do you believe the embryo/fetus is a person? I do not, based on a number of factors. A fetus is human, and a human being, but personhood is something more nebulous that requires significantly more development to arise. Even an infant is not yet a person, strictly speaking. Personhood entails individuality and consciousness, which aren't yet present even at birth.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

YesI've never accepted the argument that it isn't life, or that it isn't human life, and I've said that multiple times on this site already.But I've also never accepted that aborting it is murder. Killing, yes indeed. It is killing. But to be murder then by definition the society has to declared it an illegal form of killing. The fact that it isn't illegal means it isn't murder.The pro lifers then will trumpet how horrible that supposedly is, but they're wrong again. Human society has many examples where killing is allowed or considered justifiable. You can't be absolute about the life of a fetus but then not give a damn about police or soldiers killing, or excessive force home defense, or high risk surgeries resulting in death, etc.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

What is a human being? Let's start there. A human being is a man, woman, or child of the species Homo sapiens, distinguished from other animals by superior mental development, power of articulate speech, and upright stance. They are alive. Understand? Okay. To be alive means your heart must be beating. Is your heart beating? Yes? Therefore, you are alive. You are a human being. This debate is about whether or not we should classify a fetus as a human being.  Fetus:an unborn offspring of a mammal, in particular an unborn human baby more than eight weeks after conception. That is the definition of a fetus. A human baby. A fetus' heart start's to beat 3 weeks after it is conceived, and it is classified as an actual human baby 8 weeks after conception.  So, to answer your question: Yes, a fetus is a human being.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

It is a human - it just isn't developed as much as babies/adults. The only difference between a baby and a fetus is that the fetus is in earlier stages of development.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

No, it is a human fetus.I've said this before, but if you keep making debates about this, I'm gonna keep saying it.Human nails, human blood, human hair, human teeth, human saliva, human skin, human semen or human fetuses are all human, but that doesn't make them a human being.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

Why is the fetus not a human?
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

It is human, it's just not a human being. See the difference ?Just like a human nail is human, but not a human being.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

No. I said why is it not a human. A human is a human being. I put the "a" in there on purpose. Why is it not "a" human.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

Okay then.I don't think anyone can say the fetus is a human being before the 5th week. Before the 5th week, the fetus has not developed any kind of organs and on top of that it is unconscious.You can say, like chuz, that it is a human in a fetal stage of it's development - yeah sure. But can you prove it? No.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

There is no offical time to when its life starts. It is a living organism. It is a human. A man in a coma is unconscious. Is he no longer human? Do you determine humaness by what is conscious? You made the claim therefore the burden is on you to show me that it is not a human.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

It is a living organism.Lots of things are living organisms.It is a humanYou can't prove thatA man in a coma is unconscious. Is he no longer human?He has a human brain, human developed organs and body - so yes, I would consider him a human.You made the claim therefore the burden is on you to show me that it is not a human.I am the negative, so I would say it was your burden to prove that it is, but whatever.I can't prove to you that it isn't a human being. But I can't prove to you that my saliva isn't going to develop into a human being either, should we stop killing saliva by spitting it out or swallowing it?
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

But I can't prove to you that my saliva isn't going to develop into a human being either, should we stop killing saliva by spitting it out or swallowing it?Saliva is mostly just a liquid. It cannot replicate cells and become an organism.Lots of things are living organisms.Yes. Like a human fetus.He has a human brain, human developed organs and body - so yes, I would consider him a human.So you judge a human by the quantity of organs they have? Is that fair? If a man is missing an organ he is less human? By your logic this is the case.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

Saliva is mostly just a liquid. It cannot replicate cells and become an organism.You know stem-cells? You know what it is?Stem-cells have the ability to turn into other cells - like sperm-cells.Stem-cells you can find in almost anything. Like skin, which makes your skin a potential for developing into a human being.Yes. Like a human fetus.So we shouldn't abort fetuses because it is an organism?So you judge a human by the quantity of organs they have? Is that fair? If a man is missing an organ he is less human? By your logic this is the case.I mostly go by the brain and consciousness. If you're missing both those things I would not consider you a human being.
