*My points remains 100% intact:
1)The life of an "individual" person begins at conception, Not before, Not after.*

Your point does not remain intact, it is flawed.

The life of a "potential" person begins at conception.
No human brain - no person.

The zygote is a human organism, not a person.

As I have correctly and accurately said, an individual life "begins" at conception. That's a medical fact. Because it is not fully formed, does NOT mean an individual life has not "begun".

You have a belief, and you're entitled to your belief. And that's what it is, a "belief". Just like religious people are entitled to their belief.

Read what I previously wrote about the great TABOO of our time.

Perhaps a fetus can be said to begin to be an individual when the love and desire of a its parents for it (to go full term) matches its normal biological development.

Ah Rudy, but you are chopping and changing your wording, then
still claiming to be correct on all, which is clearly wrong.

Forget the taboos, forget the decorations, either your claims
are valid or they are not. I keep pointing out where
your claims are flawed, as a matter of record.

You could of course just admit, that you got it wrong and
stand corrected

Rudy is trying to get that point acknowledged so that the emotional loading which goes with the term murder can be incorrectly applied to a clump of cells which may be alive but clearly is not a functional human being as most of us understand the term.

McReal,
By your own words, 18 month old babies as well as many of the more feeble and frail in our society are not ‘capable of life as an individual on its own.’

It’s this kind of ‘slippery slope’ morality that many find quite disconcerting, even scary.
