How much more hand holding am I going to have to do in this thread?
So are you suggesting I said anything about species before asking you why species mattered? Is that what you're on about? I can't think of anything else you could possibly mean.
I literally outlined how the entire convo went for you already. Here we go again.
- I said human life starts at conception. - Another poster agreed. - You said you disagreed with human life beginning at conception. - You stated "zygotes have no self awareness", suggesting you think human life starts at the point of self awareness. - I said "cognitive abilities do not determine your species". - You denied your previous claim in which you suggested human life starts after self awareness (a cognitive development). - You asked me what relevance "species" has. - I explained that a zygote is a human. It is alive. Therefore it is a human life, shutting down your theory that cognitive ability has anything to do with whether or not you are a human.
I already told you I can't edit quotes. If I'm responding to 10% of a post, I still quote 100% even if I've only read the 10% I am replying about. You are the one going on about human. I said nothing about it. I was responding to that "If you were a zygote..." section. This whole argument has been you extrapolating what I said into more than it was. ---
