    It has everything to do with biology and what is taught in our highest schools of science and medicine. When I majored in biology, first year we learned that life begins at conception and that is the same for humans and dogs and cats and monkeys er al. I don't believe in "souls" which is a religious concept. Do you believe abortion law should be based on religious concepts? And yes I know quite well about how nature determines which new lives make and which don't. And I have been EXETREMELY CLEAR in my statements about when the human live begins why do you keep asking me the same question?

    Please clean up your formatting it makes your post difficult to read and is entire unnecessary and I could not find in your post if you responded so try again with brevity.

    You refuse to respond to what is asked of you because you know what I stated was truthful. Tell me what was untruthful, this can go no further since you refuse to follow the science.

    “Life” might begin at conception but “life” also encompasses single felled organisms

    Why do you keep avoiding my main point, which is that a woman's pregnancy is not, and should never be, anyone's business but her own? It most certainly should never be the business of government.

    Huh?

    IVF, to my knowledge, is a method of becoming pregnant when the natural way isn't working, for whatever reason. I'm not aware that we can choose a specific embryo based on what traits it may turn out to have once its born as a human. If you know otherwise, got a link?

    Because that has not been the point of my discussions here. So back to the points being discussed in my limb on the thread which has nothing to do with what you now try to inject.

    It has everything to do with biology and what is taught in our highest schools of science and medicine. When I majored in biology, first year we learned that life begins at conception and that is the same for humans and dogs and cats and monkeys er al. I don't believe in "souls" which is a religious concept. Do you believe abortion law should be based on religious concepts?

    I have no time to explain to you how it works, the person I was responding to do and understands what I was saying.

    I'm asking because you're not answering.

    Once again: is a fertilized, frozen embryo a human being, in your opinion?

    Was that supposed to prove your point, or are you just being dismissive? If I'm not the person you were responding to, who is? Do I need to read all of your posts back to the beginning of this thread in order to make sense of your reply? I should not have to do that.

    I'll try again: you made the claim that embryos are being chosen by traits, and other embryos are being discarded, but you provide nothing to back it up. Where and how are people choosing which embryo to implant in the womb? Is it based on genetics? Are they able to see a list of things like gender, hair color, eye color, and so forth?

    If you can't answer, that's okay. It's a complicated science.

    Read my response more slowly and then respond to it it answers your question.

    Why should women lose the right to their own bodies because "life starts at conception" ?

    You were asked first and told I could not discuss further without knowing

    Have you answered what was untruthful about my previous statement yet? Why do you keep dodging?

    No, I asked YOU a question first and you have been dodging ever since....YOU simply canNOT state what the practical application of your ideas would be ....nor can you defend them.

    Why do you keep dodging?

    False you doubted the truthfulness of what I said in a response, I asked you what was untruthful about it and you would have to tell me before I could continue the discussion and you have been dodging ever since with your attempt to divert it.

    Oh well you make a habit of it.

    The mad scientists have already addressed that issue, by proving it responds to light. To respond to light, it must first be aware of light!
    The experiment didn't address any other elements of awareness, like pain, for example, so we are limited in our understanding of its potential.

    Nope I asked you about what was untruthful with my statement then you started your dodging and diversion. When you are willing to answer let me know.

    Until you can tell me what was untrue about my statement I cannot respond to your post because it hinges on that claim of yours.

    So try again

    No it's a biological fact, you know the science. You are a new unique individual human being at conception, a person.

    What is not true about my statement?
