re: #663 Obdicut
If a zygote is not a child, then that isn’t the question, is it?
Your only argument is begging the question. You can’t even get beyond that, to the more sophisticated problem James is presenting to you.
Obdicut, the question of when do individuals acquire “being” comes after we answer whether or not an individual has intrinsic rights to life and limb as a result of their existing.
The question of the when of being is only important if an individual has intrinsic rights.
SO again my question please answer it.
