I do disagree and I don’t understand their position!

A human fetus is not fully human, that is, if it cannot survive outside the womb and in the first trimester, it cannot. That doesn’t mean it’s just a mass of tissue and has no meaning. It is human potentially after all.

That’s an unsustainable definition, though. Some newborns can’t survive outside of the womb without medical assistance. It used to be that a premature baby couldn’t survive outside of the womb. Now we can usually save them.

How will you define a human when we have the technology to sustain life from the moment of conception onward outside of the womb?
