I've been asked to repeat this several times. Here it is. This simple definition should effectively end the abortion debate for all time. But it won't, because the pro-abortion side isn't interested in facts or logic.
Here it is. Short. Simple. Ironclad.
A human embryo from the moment of conception is exactly the same genetically as the adult human being it will become (barring premature death) except in stage of development. There is no other difference. Period.
This definition has ended many abortion arguments. Nobody has ever been able to dispute or find an exception that invalidates any part of it.
That definition is a bit limiting. For instance, let's say the fertilized embryo later has some other genetic material grafted into its genome - not even necessarily "human" DNA. Let's say we know the embryo has a genetic defect which is then amended by splicing in a bit of animal DNA which happens to correct that particular defect. Perhaps something that runs deep in the background, such as a gene controlling the rate of pancreatic production of a certain hormone...
You have proven that a human embryo is not a giraffe. Congratulations.
Now prove that it has the same entitlement to life as a fully-developed human being.
Well, that's easy. A fully developed human being starts out as an embryo. Thus, the right to life is the same from the time of conception until the day of your death. Asking if the embryo is entitled to life is no different than asking if you or I am entitled to life. The answer is yes, to the same degree, in both situations.

I donate a kidney to someone else. It has a human genetic code (mine, in fact).
Does that make my donated kidney a separate and unique human being?

Thank you for your comment. That does not constitute a proof.
One could argue, for example, that no organism has a natural and inherent right to life until it is able to sustain that life without imposing on the cooperation or contribution of another organism, which may be to the detriment of the other organism.
You need to define "right" or "entitlement" in such a way as to exclude countervailing detriment to another organism that has a comparable set of "rights". That is inconsistent with the concept of "rights" under US law as well as cultural understanding.
By the wayk since you are so logical and rational and capable of deriving proofs so easily, please explain why you thought it was necessary to start a new thread on abortions, when there was already one to which you continue to contribute profusely?

It's because this proof is so profound, I felt it needed a thread of its own.
An embryo can not sustain life on it's own. An adult can.
Neither can a 2-day-old child. Your point?
