re: #705 Guanxi88

You should realize that - barring the usual unforeseen circumstances - a human fetus may reasonably be expected to develop into a human being. This is an unsurprising fact of human embryology.

The fetus will not develop into a human being if it is, as is very often the case, spontaneously miscarried— at a rate of 31%. The embryo may be absorbed into another embryo— most of us start out as twins, and absorb another in the womb.

So can you explain why you think a human fetus may reasonably be expected to develop? Do you just mean it’s got a better than 50%, or what, and if so, why is that significant?
