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

turned stem cells into eggs in mice, which went on to give birth to healthy and fertile offspring.The technique can either be used with stem cells taken from embryos, or ones created artificially from other adult cells such as skin, according to their study published in the Science journal.Your site manipulated the stem cells in order to make an egg. Like I said. A stem cell on its own will not become an organism. Did I ever say that?Yes. You claimed that it was potential life.Does a sperm have the possibility to turn into life?Yes.Potential life.The sperm will not turn into life. It will help create life. It will not evolve into anything else. Again I don't think you are understanding what the difference between potential life and the potential to create life is. The two bottom layers of skin are organisms too, the top layer is dead organism.And that has human DNA too.Skin is a component of an organism. It is a cluster of well structured cells. Your skin is not an organism. It is simply a component. It is not a living organism. It is a organ but not living. No, that is not what I said.Do I again have to tell you that all I did was apply your logic to the fetus? You said if it isn't conscious or has a brain it isn't human. No, that is not my logic.Really? Did you not say this: *Do you have no human brain and no consciousness? Then no, I don't think you are a human being.The child has no brain. It is not conscious. That fits your definition of human.??? Well .. it's easy to debate when you put false accusations in my mouth.Quote the place I said that a mother's child is not a human, please I beg you.Sorry. Say should be think. Not say. I only applied your logic to the baby.You asked me if every animal with a brain is considered human. I made a point that only human beings have a human brain, and that is what makes them human.No I didn't. I made a statement. My question was "Are they more human depending on brain size or something"? I never asked you if every animal with a brain is considered a human.Do you have proof? Now you made a claim, you have the burden, remember ;)Anencephaly. That is the term for it. Also like you once said. It has organs. They wouldn't call it a baby if it wasn't human. Again this is only logic. Check this out: http://poetv.com/video.php?vid=109731This pretty much shows you well enoughthat it is human. Also again this is my opinion.Yes now you said the right thing. But in your argument you say that I don't consider a child without a consciousness a human, and I don't consider a child without a brain a human.Look at wiki and look at symptoms. It is listed that it isn't conscious. This is false, as I numerous times said, that I think when you are missing both those parts, that's when I fail to see it being a human being.The child is missing both parts.Can I ask, out of curiosity, if the brainless baby has a consciousness? I believe it has, since the mother of the brainless baby claims the baby knows when it's mother and when it's the grandmother that holds him. So I believe it has a consciousness, so I think it is a human being.No. The brainless baby has no consciousness. Sorry. A 5 week old fetus as no brain, has no consciousness, has no organs of any kind. I don't see why it's a human. By stating the obvious point with ''it being an organism'' I fail to see the logic in that, when practically anything alive is an organism. Plants, flies .. cells.It is alive. It’s growing. It’s developing. It’s responding. It’s functioning. It’s burning food and oxygen. It’s giving off waste products. Its cells are reproducing. These are properties of a living being. It is a Life.It is growing and will grow a brain. Just by that I can see how this would logically be considered a human. Although I think this is coming down to opinion.
