re: #578 Kenneth

You are confusing the biological definition of “life” with the legal definition of “person”. These are two very different concepts. Adult women were not considered legal persons until the early part of the 20th century. They certainly were considered alive.

No, no confusion here at all. You had stated: “Human life begins at conception”. As I said, that is not a “scientific” observation, but a moral one. I’m not talking about “legal personhood” in the “can you validly sign a contract” sense. I’m talking about the question of when a fetus becomes A person.

And merely pointing out that a fetus is “life” is not enough. So is your appendix.
