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

In any sense? Well then. I guess you are a pro-choicer.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

An extension of whose being? It is not part of the mothers body, science has proven that, so whose body does it belong to?
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

No I do not. A human fetus is a human's fetus, but it isn't a human being. Yet. And before you try to give me the whole catch-twenty two there, I should remind you that the word 'human' can be used as an adjective, which can describe something that exhibits human-like qualities or is of a human. But that's like saying love is a human being because love is a human quality. Or... something. Fuck I'm tired.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

It say that of course a human fetus is human because it says so in the name is called 'begging the question'. Its a circular logic based on undisputable definitions. If you start from the position that what is and isn't a 'human being' is quite difficult to define then this debate is far more interesting.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

Your comments are a bit ambiguous.Do you deny that a human being in the fetal stage of their life, growth and development is a human being? Or are you claiming they are not a being at all?
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

Nope. I don't deny that a human is a human. What do you see as the contentious issue?
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

Nope. I don't deny that a human is a human. What do you see as the contentious issue?Your comments don't make it clear that you believe a human being in the fetal stage of their life, growth etc. is a human being. That's all.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

Is a fetus human is a very interesting question. That is my point. But saying that humans are humans is not engaging with the debate. The question is: does a fetus have the qualities that we attribute to being a human being. By saying 'human is human: does anyone disagree?' is not allowing any room for debate.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

Is a fetus human is a very interesting question. That is my point.That could be answered with a simple DNA test... couldn't it?
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

If you define what a human being is so simply yes. Scholars spent years trying to define what means to be a human being though. I guess engaging with some of the dilemmas they find is most interesting. I know that you're not interesting in that though :)
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

What is wrong with recognizing a human being in the most basic sense as the human being that they are?Anything?
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

Perhaps nothing. I'm undecided whether a fetus should be termed a human being or not. I'd just that I would be interested in your arguments other than saying that a human is human because its human.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

What do you have with the wording "a human being in the fetal stage of their life"? Anything?After all, you are a human being. Correct?And you were in the fetal stage of your own life once. Correct?So help me understand what part you are having a problem with.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

Considering the implications of being a human being, what is a good definition of a human being is. For example, the fact that all human beings should be given equal rights. Therefore, perhaps the definition of what it means to be human should include conciousness. The capacity to make decisions. Or perhaps it should include the ability to live without a host. Its difficult to know where to start in defining what constitutes a human being. I don't think any of these debates have really tried to do that.What do you have with the wording "a human being in the fetal stage of their life"? AnythingTo me its short hand. Its not engaging with the philosophical debate about what is a human being or not. This is very common in language. We can say, for example, "I love him" without being able to find exactly what love is - it is merely a helpful descriptive term. The same is happening here. We need to say human fetus because we need to distinquish it from other types of fetus but it does not engage with the question of whether it should really be termed a human being or not.And you were in the fetal stage of your own life once. Correct?Yes but at what time I became a human being / person is another issue.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

Considering the implications of being a human being, what is a good definition of a human being is. For example, the fact that all human beings should be given equal rights. Therefore, perhaps the definition of what it means to be human should include conciousness.So you think it's okay to bring a bias or prejudice to the determination? I don't. As a realist, it is what it is... it's unacceptable to me to expect anything more than that. An un-conscious human being is still a human being. Isn't it?Like I said before - reality is not always convenient.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

Again you're begging the question. Is an unconcious human being still a human being? What qualities does it have that makes it a human being? Thats a good starting point I feel.So you think it's okay to bring a bias or prejudice to the determination?Well, you have to start from some angle. Maybe it is not the best way but it is one way: that all human beings deserve equal rights, therefore what is a human being(?).
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

Can you tell me why the simple recognition of the fact that human sexual reproduction produces a new organism that is the young of the parents who created them is not the best way to determine whether their young are human beings or not? Do you have any evidence to support the thought that human beings undergo metamorphosis like butterflies and frogs do?If not, you have to conclude that we are the same organism at eighty (providing we live that long) that we were at the moment of our conception.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

The fact that its biological human is not up for debate. It is human from the moment of conception. Like any human cell is human. There is no moot point. Whether a feotus is philosophically a human being is what I struggle with.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

In your country, is it the philosophical human which has rights or is it the biological human which has rights as a human?In our country, it's the latter. That is why we have banned cloning and patents on human organisms, for example.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

My countries are the UK and Spain. It is the philosophical human being that has the rights - and in your country too. A born human has different rights than a unborn humans or a, similarly, a human corpse. A patient that is completely brain dead also does not have the rights of someone that is not. I didn't follow the point in your second paragraph.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

Do you have laws which make the killing of a child in the womb punishable as a murder?
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

No. But please lets not go down the route of what the law says again :/ The law can say whatever it likes it achieve the effect it wants. If it wants having sex with a skeleton of a corpse to be treated as having sex with a living person it has to word it to say 'the word 'human being' in the definition of rape must also include human beings already deceased'. It wouldn't mean that the skeleton is a human being or that it should be given equal rights in other areas.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

I understand your point, however... I hope that you can also appreciate mine. Laws come at the end of lengthy debates and legal conclusions (like making something a murder) are debated very thoroughly. Agree?
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

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

Great.... so laws are not completely irrelevant then. Are they?
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

No they reflect the aims of that society and, one would hope, the just function of the law.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

So, it could be said that laws carry (or can carry) the very same kinds of biases that you were saying were justified in making definitions earlier... Correct?
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

Yes. And you caught me on that and I said maybe that's not the best route to define it.(Although basic human rights law are a little special as they are supposed to be universial - independent of a states agenda)
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

Okay, you give me your idea for the best route to define what is and what is not a human being and I will give you mine. Deal?
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

Okay but I need to sleep now :/ do you want to go first? :P
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

Sure... why not... Have a good rest..........................................
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

Bullshit. It is not a fallacy to say that the fetus is a human being.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

I'm not even going to try to explain to you what I really meant.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

So you have no logical argument. Got it. .
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

My argument is laid out there. Its just not one you can understand :) Its okay.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

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

Okay. Well if you want to say how I'm wrong then go ahead. At the moment, like always, all you've said is 'you're wrong you're wrong you're wrong you're wrong' with a few swear words.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

The fetus is a human being whether you like it or not. . .
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

The fetus is a human being whether you like it or not. .
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

(lets see if I can debate Dana style...)The fetus of course isn't a human being whether you like it or not!! What are you thinking!
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

Logical fallacy. Do you have a logical or scientific argument proving me wrong?
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

There is no set definition of what a human being / person is. One argument is that it is someone that has the capacity to reason and to be concious of its environment. Fetuses do not have this and therefore could not be called a person under this definition.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

That is not true. A human being is a member of the human race.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

Depends how you define human being. There are other definitions.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

You are completely clueless if you do not realize the FACT that a human being is a member of the human race.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

Im not doubting that that is one of the definitions. If that the definition we're using then there is no argument that a human fetus is human. Its arguing that A = A and is a very boring debate.There are a number of books that are solely about trying to define what a human being is. So when people talk about whether a fetus is a human being they're using a far more complex, unknowable, definition.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

I do not need your fascist propaganda. A human being is a member of the human race.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

You seriously think that book is facist propaganda? Discussing what it means to be human is a whole area of philosophy. Its has been being discussed for centuries.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

One more time: A HUMAN BEING IS A MEMBER OF THE HUMAN RACE, SCIENTIFICALLY.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

According to a concise dictionary yes its a human being. There there. Calm down. You don't understand anything of what I've said do you?
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

That feeling when I am oh so right. ;)
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

Yeah I said you're right. A human fetus is a human fetus. Muy bien!!! Fenomenal!!! Too bad you're too stupid to engage in the debate as to how we actual define 'human being' or 'person'.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

She defined it correctly. A human being (even in the fetal stage of their life, growth and development) is a human being (human organism to be exact) and as such, they are members of the human species.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

Yes a human is human biologically. I realise :P
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

Yes a human is human biologically. I realise :POkay... but is  a human A human? It's not clear that you think they always are.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

Stop speaking Spanish. You are turning me on. Blushes. ;)
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

Its not a logical fallacy either. Do you know what that means? What you mean to say is 'you are wrong'.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

No, but has the potential to become one. I hope this comment doesn't offend anyone as I appreciate this is a sensitive issue.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

Then I suppose that people under coma or mental illness cannot be classified a human because they do not have conciousness
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

Please don't make assumptions like that, I am offended by the statement. Just because I believe a foetus isn't a human being doesn't mean I am cold blooded.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

Its called "Discrimination"You are inventing lies to deny a baby from being classified as a human
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

It's an embryo/fetus with potential to become a human being. It's not a human being until it leaves the womb and is able to function without relying solely on the mother's nutrients.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: Yes

I can say the same thing towards the people who relies on machine for survival. If you cannot survive without the assistance of an external aid, are you already rejected from the community?
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

Nope, it doesn't have the same conscious experience of what we would deem human.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

Does a woman have the right to an abortion under the U.S. Constitution? If someone is a strict constructionist who interprets the Constitution word for word, the sanction for abortion is given under the Fourteenth Amendment. The Fourteenth Amendment of our U.S. Constitution defines a citizen “a citizen” at birth. If a woman is carrying a fetus in the womb, the U.S. Constitution does not designate the fetus as “a citizen.” It would take an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to declare a fetus a citizen. You have to be born in order to be recognized as a citizen. Therefore, a woman does have the right to choose. A fetus inside the womb is not designated as a citizen according to the U.S. Constitution so by default is not entitled to life, liberty, or prosperity. You have to be born in order to be endowed with those privileges. To conclude, neither the Federal government nor any of the States can deny a woman the right to choose. If abortion is murder, abortion would have been terminated years ago due to the cruel and unusual punishment clause under the Eighth Amendment. Again, proof that a fetus is not recognized as a citizen of the United States of America.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

Wow I never thought of that or at least in those terms. Not sure why that point can't be won in court.
Debate: Do you believe the embryo/fetus is a human being?
Side: No

Let's cut to the chase, this debate is about ABORTION. The Republican party will NEVER allow abortion to become illegal so you can just forget about that happening. You got that right, I said the REPUBLICAN party will NEVER allow that to happen.Why?Because the abortion issue is the best vote getting tool in the GOP arsenal. Every election cycle the GOP can count on the votes of the anti-abortion minions to march to the polls and pull the lever for the Republican party because they PRETEND to want to outlaw abortion. THEY DON'T. They don't because they know that the political blowback from outlawing abortion would wreck the Republican party forever because back alley abortions would soon begin to cause the deaths of pretty little middle class white girls and their mothers would RIOT IN THE STREETS. Also, if abortion were ever actually outlawed, many those same voters who would normally vote Republican would then vote more in line with their own interests which for working class people is the DEMOCRAT party, so banning abortion is a LOSE LOSE proposition for the Republican party. The GOP party leaders know very well that they want the abortion issue to stay exactly where it is, keep it legal so they can campaign against it and get that huge block of simple minded well meaning easily led Christian conservative voters into the booths to vote GOP but in reality the Republican party is the LAST entity that actually wants abortion banned.
Debate: Do You Support or Oppose the Death Penalty?
Side: I Support it

If one is convicted in a United States court of law by a jury of their peers for committing murder then you should be put to death for that crime you committed.
Debate: Do You Support or Oppose the Death Penalty?
Side: I oppose it

Please, define for me: peers.If you are a murderer, then can it be said that a non-murderer is your peer?If you are black, then can it be said that a non-black is your peer?If you are a man, then can it be said that a woman is your peer?If you are well-educated, then are illiterate people your peers?Simply choosing 12 people relatively at random to pass judgement on somebody accused of having committed a crime against their peers does not make them peers to the person who stands accused.Furthermore: how reliable can a court of law be given the absolutely massive (and largely unknowable) list of wrongfully convicted people simply in the USA alone? The jury system - along with the court system and the prison system - is deeply flawed: to demand a life in exchange for an interpretation of guilt is evil - I want to say inhumane - but all too human.
Debate: Do You Support or Oppose the Death Penalty?
Side: I Support it

For most categories of murder I fully support the death penalty. By imposing the death penalty the state would be ridding society of such vile creatures as rapists, including child molesters, who subsequently murder their victims, terrorists who have caused death, assassins of police officers/security forces, armed robbers who use their weapons during the course of their crime, those who coldly and clinically carry out pre-meditated murders and other classifications. Eradicating such filth from the face of the earth reduces the evil which stalks our towns and cities. When released murderers re-offend, (as they often do), those responsible for their release keep their sick heads below the ''parapet walls'' until the controversy has subsided. Those of he bleeding hearts club who oppose the death penalty across the board, would I'm sure reconsider their reasoning if one of their own family, say their 5 year old daughter, was sexually assaulted then subsequently brutally murdered. The fools who actively resist the death penalty regardless of the circumstances are, in my opinion, complicit in many deadly crimes.
Debate: Do You Support or Oppose the Death Penalty?
Side: I oppose it

What I would personally do or want to do to someone who harmed someone I cared about is not necessarily what I would want the government to do. And I"m not a "bleeding heart". I'm a pragmatist. The death penalty is not demonstrated to be an effective deterrent, which makes sense given that most crimes are crimes of passion, crimes of compulsion, and/or premeditated. The only benefit, then, is retribution and retributivist systems are demonstrably less effective at creating healthier societies than rehabilitative counterparts (the reason recidivism is so high is because you are referencing the output of a retributivist system). The less authority we give the government as possible, the happier I am since power tends to consolidate over time which endangers the constituency.
Debate: Do You Support or Oppose the Death Penalty?
Side: I Support it

The inference of your response seems to imply that you would most likely favour the death sentence for anyone who murdered one of your family/loved ones, ''GOD FORBID''. Well, it would also be the wish of most of the grieving kith and kin of murder victims that the perpetrators of such foul crimes roasted in hell, but before that they deserve to see the filth squirm as they are given the lethal injection. My firmly held view is that the death penalty would have a certain deterrent affect, but that would be a fringe benefit as the main purpose of the death sentence would be as sweet revenge to be savoured. For instance, when terrorists in Northern Ireland murder members of the security forces and slaughter men women and children they know if they get caught, charged and proven guilty in a court of law the most they will face is a 7 years custodial term and will probably be out in half that time. Indeed, not only were some of them released after two years, they actually form part of the devolved ''Power sharing Executive'' in Belfast. You present a reasoned counter argument but, I consider it to be wholly misguided and utterly counterproductive. After the convicted filth have received the death sentence, let the shit bubble and froth in them for about a fortnight and give them graphic illustrations of how they're going to die, then, and only then introduce them to ''Madam Syringe''.
