Debate: Should people have abortions?
Side: no, adoption is better

It would be a waste of time for me to raise more arguments against an opponent who hasn't even understood my earlier argumentsDisagreeing with your argument doesn't mean that I don't understand it. That only means you don't like my response. This question proves that there is no point in continuing argument with you. You have failed to grasp my most basic opinion, even after I had explained it to you, again and again and again.Your basic opinion is self contradiction. You believe a fetus is alive, yet you don't believe that it deserves human status. Even though in its biology and structural features it is clear that it is a HUMAN BEING. There is no imaginary line that a fetus crosses to become a human. It is a human development from the beginning. Me, in another post: "You had attributed to me the claim that a fertilised egg is not a potential human, when in fact I had argued the opposite."Me: "I don't doubt that a fertilised egg is alive..."Me, in the same sentence: "I do think that foetuses are alive."Me, later on in the same post: "To end the life of something that is alive is to kill it. Abortion is the killing of a foetus."You are arguing schematics here. You are trying to differentiate between murder and killing. This is not a legal question, rather it is a moral one. A foetus is obviously human ("human" the adjective, not "a human" the noun) in the sense that it is the foetus of a human, in the same way that human adults are human, human corpses are human, human kidneys are human, and human fingernails are human.You are trying to change the definition of fetus. It is not a part of the human body. The fetus (embryo or zygote for earlier development) is a human being. It is not 'part' of a person, but it is an entire person. Its dependence on the mother for survival doesn't change the fact the it is an individual entity. The raising of the child doesn't change that it is a person. If the support from the mother defines for you what makes something a 'person' or not, then you living at home with your parents means you are not a person. I assume that is the case seeing how your 12 year old sister was reading on the computer with you. In case you need a reminder of what the definition of fetus is here you go: Fetus: The unborn offspring from the end of the 8th week after conception (when the major structures have formed) until birth. Up until the eighth week, the developing offspring is called an embryohttp://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=3424 Because you view a fetus like a fingernail or kidney, that doesn't change what it actually will be and that is a human. Does a fingernail or kidney have a heartbeat? With your logic it appears they are one in the same. My question to you is, when does an unborn child become a person? Please cite any and all medical credible evidence supporting your opinion. If this is truly just your opinion (no medical evidence) then you are speaking conjecture and your entire argument is arbitrary. On a personal note, I would expect someone with your name to be more child friendly, since most babies like to play that game. Indeed you did make a mistake, and a very obvious one at that (I showed the paragraph to my 12-year-old sister when she asked me what I was laughing about, and she spotted the error in about 3 seconds). Before accusing someone of using bad English, please check that your own English is beyond common reproach.This is not reproach only grammatical errors. It didn't change the argument as a whole just 'canceled' it out through the double negative. The first mistake may be excused as a typo, but the second is a textbook case of to/two/too confusion. Considering your language skills (or lack thereof), I doubt that you're capable of spotting so many errors in my language that you see fit to call me "severely undereducated".Well I am glad you excused my first mistake, because I was sure worried that you wouldn't. To summarize, once conception occurs it is a child in development. Therefore the fertilized egg must be given a full chance for survival. The fertilized egg is a human being in its simplest form. Its dependence on the mother doesn't change that it is an individual entity. That it will soon develop all necessary organs and functions as a normal person. Dependence doesn't define personal rights of life. Although immoral legislation say different.
