What are you talking about,
A blastocyst is about 5 days old, by this time the mother doesnt even know she has one.

Zoom again...?

I didn't say they weren't human. I said that one of the factors of determining life is breathing.

Being once alive (breathing) and having something tragic happen that requires the medical/mechanical intervention to remain alive is very different than having an entitiy which was never alive to begin with. If there is such a thing as a soul (or the concept of a soul which I do believe in), It does not enter the body until the FIRST breath. Thereafter, the person is alive and a fully functioning human being, but not before.

So to answer your question, no it is not the same thing at all.

Atleast a mother is responsible for creating life and is in a position to decide. She is a creator.

Have you not been reading the posts?
It actually requires male involvement to create human life.
The woman is literally the incubator and source of nourishment for the baby. The baby is not a part of it's mother, it is a product of it's mother.... And father as well.

Life begins after my first cup of French Roast.

Life begins when a fetus is able to survive outside of the mother without requiring extended heroic measures. Before that point, the fetus is simply a parasite.

Do you think that a breast feeding infant is a parasite?

What, they aren't teaching MDs how to use correct capitalization and punctuation anymore? What a shame. Considering your post above, I'd have never guess you were highly educated.
