Opinions - Should we destroy the last bit of the smallpox disease?

Certainly a sperm and an egg are two halves of an immature being?

Well forgive the lazy brown townogy, but that's like saying two halves of a Rolls Royce are equal to that of an intact Rolls Royce...

I don't plan to get an abortion for somebody, but it isn't something the government should control.

The government gives you internet.Le them control what you want to do with your baby.

[Kalphiter]

The government gives you internet.

No, they do not at all.

Try a tracert to youtube.com, and see how all of the networks are private.

I completely agree with Kalphiter, according to you Stocking , this theory is correct.

Do an Egg and a Sperm NOT make a human?

The baby isn't considered by most as a human until it at least has the ability to think/preform some action, Ex: Kicking.

...and what is the real difference between that and what happens in the development of the child? It's still just a series of chemical reactions that propel us from inception into old age and death, why does it matter whether or not they're able to do something completely arbitrary like move a limb to become human?

[Shadowed999]

Whatever,just because more agree on something doesnt make them right.

Because that indicates brain activity.

[Kalphiter]

By the way, I'm not sure if anyone recalls this, but killing a pregnant woman yields two murders.

[Stocking]

Because that indicates brain activity.

But it doesn't have one yet, it certainly will eventually, just as babies aren't really capable of sentient, cognitive thought for year after birth. It doesn't mean the baby is less human because it's less developed, it just means it's just that, less developed.

I am not sure if that counts ONLY if the baby is in a stage in which it can perform some action, I haven't exactly seen a case in when the person who died was, for example, two weeks pregnant, but then again they aren't very specific when announced.

So, if I purposely kill sperm cells, I am killing a baby because it is a baby that is technically "less developed"?

[Shadowed999]

Double kill

But sperm isn't really capable of sentient or cognitive thought. Is sperm a baby?

[Shadowed999]

No kalph,egg is baby.

Sperm is no more a human being than white blood cells, it's merely a vessel for carrying the material that creates a human. Once the sperm carrying the genetic material combine with the genetic material stored in an egg, the DNA sequences combine and create a human being with it's own unique genetic code, also known as conception.

It's their child and they should have the say in whether they want to go through the pain of delivering it or not.
