Debate: DO YOU SUPPORT PRESIDENT OBAMAS DECISION TO BUILD A MOSQUE AT GROUND ZERO
Side: No

There is an old tradition from the era of the crusades, in which Moslem's, when they would win a victory, would build a mosque over the battle ground and hold it as a place of spiritual significance. Now I understand the majority of Moslem's in the world do not partake in violent jihad anymore, but I don't think it was a coincidence that they chose this location for their "community center". First of all, the chosen location is not exactly prime real estate. It is priced far above it's actual value. Secondly, there are dozens of other suitable locations other than the one near ground zero that would have been a better value, have the same amenities, and ease of access. They would in fact be making it harder on themselves to use the building they have chosen, yet they have chosen it anyway. I find this connotation disturbing, and I also find it disturbing that no one can spare political correctness for the sake of a genuine debate.
Debate: DO YOU SUPPORT PRESIDENT OBAMAS DECISION TO BUILD A MOSQUE AT GROUND ZERO
Side: NO

Seeing as how the victims of 9/11 were killed by Muslim terrorist I would personally consider it a slap in the face to their family's and to America as a whole. I realize that not all Muslims are terrorists but this is just in bad taste.
Debate: DO YOU SUPPORT PRESIDENT OBAMAS DECISION TO BUILD A MOSQUE AT GROUND ZERO
Side: No

Absolutly not! For terrorist whose relegious belief is to see all Americans dead so they can go to heaven one day!!These terrorist with such beliefs fly two airplanes into the twin towers in New York City and kill thousands of innocent American people!!! These people with such beliefs come back under ten years later and want to build a church on the same grounds in which they performed acts of terror against the American people!! HAHA!!! Are you Serious?? Is this some type of Joke??! oh but Obama who agrees and shares the same relegious beliefs with the people who want to blow us all up says Oh but Muslim beliefs are considered a relegion!!?? So they obviously must have the rights here in America as Terroist-Americans to worship there ungodly beliefs in order to destroy America from the inside out!!?? Wake Up America!! Its time to repair the Busted and broken U.S. Constitution before its to late!!
Debate: Do you think a fertilized egg is a person?
Side: yes

Some never intellectually go beyond that point! ;P
Debate: Do you think a fertilized egg is a person?
Side: yes

Yep. It's a mini mini mini person. Just growing and hoping to become something bigger and better.
Debate: Do you think a fertilized egg is a person?
Side: no

It's not "hoping" to be anything. A fertilized egg is a group of cells that could POTENTIALLY become a person, but is not.
Debate: Do you think a fertilized egg is a person?
Side: yes

Tell that to the scientists who debunked your pseudoscience
Debate: Do you think a fertilized egg is a person?
Side: no

Disagreeing with your religious opinion does not make something pseudoscience.
Debate: Do you think a fertilized egg is a person?
Side: yes

Indeed, but disagreeing with the words of science degrades your logic into psuedoscience
Debate: Do you think a fertilized egg is a person?
Side: yes

Science has already answered this question long ago and it has been agreed by every single scientist that life starts at conception. It's the very basics of biology.Someone even made a thread about it 3 months ago
Debate: Do you think a fertilized egg is a person?
Side: no

Christian right? Although for you reading a book (be it the Bible or a dictionary) and believing that as a absolute definition of reality is sufficient, really the issue is a lot more complex.
Debate: Do you think a fertilized egg is a person?
Side: yes

Did you even read the thread?"The information comes from Medical textbooks, Medical dictionaries…from universities such as Harvard and from such medical institutions as Mayo Clinic. Others come from Scientific Encyclopedias. NOTHING CHRISTIAN ABOUT THE SOURCES."The fact that a fetus is a human is anything but complicated. It's a simple and straight issue that does not even take a degree in biology just to understand. In fact, simply searching for "When does life begins according to science?" will give you good results.Its a very easy topic but pro-abortion always deny it.
Debate: Do you think a fertilized egg is a person?
Side: no

The key word is 'according to science'. You mean specifically according to cell biology. However, when we consider when someone becomes a person legally and psychologically the question becomes much more complex. If I look in my legal dictionary it would tell me a person does not include a foetus until it takes its first breath. Oops. Two dictionaries with conflicting definitions. What now?We should be asking what it is to be a person - what are the qualities that make us human. It shouldn't be: "DUH! Look in the dictionary! Obv city!!". This doesn't assist us at all.
Debate: Do you think a fertilized egg is a person?
Side: yes

Easy. You will have to give me the source of your dictionary. Then test how accurate it is in providing valid scientific factsIt is rational thinking that decides what makes a person and not some random opinions about life and a persons worth,which practically has no fundamental foundation other than societal norms that changes from time to time. Science has already told the answer and it is time to end your denials.Like what I said before: It is anything but complicated.
Debate: Do you think a fertilized egg is a person?
Side: no

I agree that science has said life begins where life begins because life begins when it begins. This is the legal definition:"A man considered according to the rank he holds in society, with all the rights to which the place he holds entitles him, and the duties which it imposes. 1 Bouv. Inst. no. 137. A human being considered as capable of having rights and of being charged with duties; while a “thing” is the object over which rights may be exercised."Let me ask you. What does it mean to be a person to you? To me, and to the legal profession, it is a term that embodies an equality of rights. There is a prima facie assumption that every person has the same rights. Do you really believe a embryo deserves the same rights as its host? I don't think so. So how are you able to say that some innocent people have rights that others don't? It is more convenient to refer to those without human rights (e.g. foetuses) as not being people. Quite frankly we can use language anyway we want and the legal definition isn't wrong - its just different to what science says. The scientific definition is not useful to law in which we need to distinguish what has human rights and what doesn't.But whatever if we don't agree then: embryo = person without the rights of a person whereas born people = person with the rights of a person. Its just semantics.
Debate: Do you think a fertilized egg is a person?
Side: yes

First off, your definition gave no claim whether a fetus is a human or not. Second, why are you using the law when you know full well that it is based on societal norms which differs in every state and changes every generation?If you wish to properly define a person in ways that will not change, use evidences that cannot be disputed by culture and societal acts.Being a person is not limited by your abilities, nor personalities, not even body structure. Being a person is to be a part of the human race no matter how old or young, sick or well."A fetus is a person, all the rest are denials"-AnonymousPerhaps the topic you are after is whether or not the life of a fetus can be negotiated?edit:Im going to sleep
Debate: Do you think a fertilized egg is a person?
Side: no

First off, your definition gave no claim whether a foetus is a human or notClearly a foetus has no duties nor the corresponding rights. It cannot be a person legally.Second, why are you using the law when you know full well that it is based on societal norms which differs in every state and changes every generation?Because language is a social construct. We look at what the word person means by looking at its usage and the principles connected with it. It is not a scientific term but rather a philosophical or legal one.Perhaps the topic you are after is whether or not the life of a fetus can be negotiated?I don't understand the word negotiated in this context.If you choose only to look at the scientific definition of the word person then that's up to you. As you say, you cant dispute that life begins at conception. I think you'll find though that the word person is much more comprehensively defined in law and philosophy than it is in science however. A more interesting debate is whether a embryo has personhood. This is what people mean generally when they talk about whether a foetus should be regarded as a person.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personhood
Debate: Do you think a fertilized egg is a person?
Side: yes

Clearly a foetus has no duties nor the corresponding rights. It cannot be a person legally.Not in the United States, not yet.It is not a scientific term but rather a philosophical or legal one.The law has its foundations set in rationality and not spirituality. Every single person differs in their perspective on how valuable a life is, and it changes with time. The moment you use philosophy to dehumanize something that has been agreed upon by logic as a human, is the moment where you lost the argument. A more interesting debate is whether a embryo has personhood.I agree, and it is what we are having right now.
Debate: Do you think a fertilized egg is a person?
Side: no

Not in the United States, not yet.An embryo could never have a duty. Due to its very nature it is incapable of this. Therefore it does not qualify for rights as a person.The moment you use philosophy to dehumanize something that has been agreed upon by logic as a human, is the moment where you lost the argument. I think you're the one that is dehumanising what it means to be a person (never disputed that it is 'human'). You're saying a person may merely be a zygote. I agree, and it is what we are having right now.Well not really. We're skirting around it because its difficult.... or rather I am if you're not. I just wanted to make the point that being a person, having personhood, is more than a question of biology.
Debate: Do you think a fertilized egg is a person?
Side: yes

An embryo could never have a dutySo does every single child.I think you're the one that is dehumanising what it means to be a person.You're saying a person may merely be a zygote. No. I was saying: if you plan to abort a fetus, at least recognize that it is a person. And stop making excuses.having personhood, is more than a question of biology.Then what else? Philosophy? Religion? Political Culture? Societal Norms?An answer that will change over time isn't an answer at all.
Debate: Do you think a fertilized egg is a person?
Side: no

So does every single child.A child has a duty to attend school, to behave well etcNo. I was saying: if you plan to abort a fetus, at least recognize that it is a person. And stop making excuses.I think everyone recognises that its a biological fact that a foetus is alive. Then what else? Philosophy? Religion? Political Culture? Societal Norms?An answer that will change over time isn't an answer at all.Well then you're going to struggle with the idea of personhood. There are no black and white answers. You can say that a foetus is biologically a person all you like but ultimately if you're talking about attributing rights to it you have to look at the social reality and you have to address philosophical issues. I don't understand exactly what you want. To me all people are equal. You want to say that an embryo is equal to a person? Does that mean that its life should be just as important as the mothers? I don't quite understand what the importance is to you of calling it a person other than so you can emotively scream "you're killing a person!" when someone supports abortion.
Debate: Do you think a fertilized egg is a person?
Side: yes

A child has a duty to attend school, to behave well etcYou used a toddler who can already understand spoken language.I am referring to mere babies who's only ability is to live and grow, just like a fetusI think everyone recognises that its a biological fact that a foetus is alive.It depends on your definition of "Alive"if you're talking about attributing rights to it you have to look at the social reality and you have to address philosophical issuesWhat philosophical issue? To be prank, almost all the arguments of pro-choice and pro-life revolves on comparing a fetus to a disabled and an elderly. Its a recycled debate over and over.The only true measure in defining the personhood of an individual is by how many wants to protect his life. No cares abut the life of a fetus in the United States, hence it has no personhood. Its just that easy and it will change once it gained enough support.Is this really what you call philosophical? The voice of the masses?History has taught us one thing: Democracy isn't justice.I don't understand exactly what you want.I know abortion is a necessary evil. But my goal is simple: I hate it when people invent lies and try to objectify a fetus just so they can escape the guilt of murder.

Atrag is a doctor in training as well as a law student. He know what he is talking about.

First rule of success: It attained with actions, not title nor diploma.

Im saying that Atrag is qualified to speak on this. He's a very smart person.
Debate: Do you think a fertilized egg is a person?
Side: yes

There is no need to tell anyone. A good argument is shown with words not academical titles
Debate: Do you think a fertilized egg is a person?
Side: yes

It's clear that not all humans have the all the same rights. People of different ages have their rights in varying degrees until, at last, they are a legal adult. But at what point does a human, of any age, attain the basic right to life? Is it when they take their first breath? Because that can happen at various stages of development, and with technology it can happen fairly early. If life, in general, starts at conception, when is the objectively defined beginning of life as a human? It's probably 18.
Debate: Do you think a fertilized egg is a person?
Side: no

Atrag has studied medicine so he knows what he is talking about and studied law in England. He is a qualified professional in at least two fields.

It maybe a life, but its not a person. Any animal or plant on this planet is a life, not a person.

Did you even read the thread?Your words has been thoroughly discussed by respected scientists and has been proven wrong. There is no excuse, its called murder whichever angle you look at
Debate: Do you think a fertilized egg is a person?
Side: no

Life does not begins at fertilization. Just stop impressing a fictional morality.
Debate: Do you think a fertilized egg is a person?
Side: yes

Fertilization is the beginning of life. As said so by the great thinkers in the field of science.
Debate: Do you think a fertilized egg is a person?
Side: no

Appeal to authority fallacy. People once thought that the earth was flat and the center of the universe. Just because an idea is commonly thought does not make it legitimate in any way. Pregnancy begins when the blastocyst sheds the zona pellicuda and implants, usually in the woman's uterus, but even then it is not a baby. an embryo 5 weeks after fertilization is not a baby. Stop parroting what the religious right wants you to think. Are you a Christian? Do you believe in the Bible (goes to credibility).
Debate: Do you think a fertilized egg is a person?
Side: yes

Apparently, your words are nothing more than personal opinions. Click the link I gave and see for yourself how science says that life begins at conception.And no, I am not a Christian.
Debate: Do you think a fertilized egg is a person?
Side: no

When life begins is separate from when pregnancy begins. Scientific consensus is that pregnancy begins at implantation. When life begins is a religious question that cannot be answered by science.
Debate: Do you think a fertilized egg is a person?
Side: yes

Apparently not
Debate: Do you think a fertilized egg is a person?
Side: no

Apparently yes and it is sad that you use a nonscientific link to prove a nonscientific theory.
Debate: Do you think a fertilized egg is a person?
Side: yes

Did you even read the researches that follow?All of them are comprehensive studies done by respected scientists, and all of them tells of how foolish it is to say that a fetus is not a human. Just the first links will show you what I mean.Only someone who believes in pseudoscience instead of biology will say that life begins at birth
Debate: Do you think a fertilized egg is a person?
Side: no

Fallacy fallacy. Disagreement does not equal a fallacy. When life begins is a religious question, not a scientific one. Only a complete moron would say that pregnancy begins before implantation, or that life begins before birth.
Debate: Do you think a fertilized egg is a person?
Side: yes

Are you saying that the scientists who works in the fields of biology are morons?
Debate: Do you think a fertilized egg is a person?
Side: yes

Well it's already fertilised.... And it already contains the genes from the parents and after 9 monyhs or so it's gonna become a human eventually so i think im siding with yes
Debate: Do you think a fertilized egg is a person?
Side: yes

Yes, I do believe a fertilized egg is a person. While the person may not be fully developed, the fertilized egg has a soul.

A tiny of lump of cells is not a person. It is the seed of what may become a person.
Debate: Do you think a fertilized egg is a person?
Side: yes

There is no "may become a person" in the rules of biology. If it was fertilized, it already is.
Debate: Do you think a fertilized egg is a person?

A lump of cells is not a person.
Debate: Do you think a fertilized egg is a person?
Side: yes

You are a lump of cells. We all are
Debate: Do you think a fertilized egg is a person?
Side: no

A huge lump of cells in the shape of a person, not a tiny microscopic one made of only two (a sperm and an egg), there is a big difference. A microscopic thing that has no heart, brain or mind is not a person.
Debate: Do you think a fertilized egg is a person?
Side: yes

First off, a fertilized egg is not made up of 2 cells. It is a single cell that was activated by the sperm and learned how to multiply itself into many. Second, if it isnt a person then what is it?Even an elementary biology will state that there is no exemption in the definition of offspring.
Debate: Do you think a fertilized egg is a person?
Side: no

Second, if it isnt a person then what is it?How about a blastocyst?
Debate: Do you think a fertilized egg is a person?

Its called "fetus" which is another term for "offspring"
Debate: Do you think a fertilized egg is a person?
Side: no

Its called "fetus" which is another term for "offspring"Science disagrees. Articles:http://umm.edu/health/medical/ency/articles/fetal-development http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zygotehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FetusAlso, offspring does not show up as a synonym for fetus on google web definitions or thesaurus.com.

Side: yes

Link is all about the development of a baby. Or are you inviting me to a shallow linguistic argument? If you wish to add something that can lead to a fruitful debate, try something like this And yes, what you see there are the very words of scientists who speaks of how foolish it is to say that a fetus is not a human.
Debate: Do you think a fertilized egg is a person?
Side: no

And yes, what you see there are the very words of scientists who speaks of how foolish it is to say that a fetus is not a humanWhat I got from your link is that it is a matter of opinion as to when life/person-hood begins. My previous dispute was pointing out that majority of people don't even use the term "fetus" until about eight weeks after fertilization.
Debate: Do you think a fertilized egg is a person?
Side: yes

Why are you trying to deny the truth?None of them are opinions the very first link alone is a scientific study backed by respectable universities. And for an even more comprehensive research, try thisThe only people who denies the personhood of a fetus are the ignorant ones who have no idea of how biology works.

The tiny cells takes the shape of a tiny person fairly rapidly. At what point does the tiny lump of cells qualify as a person? If killing a person is wrong, isn't it of massive importance to determine when a person is a person?
