I feel like you could probably counter this argument by asking if a caterpillar is a butterfly. yes a caterpillar is considered within a butterfly species, however physically speaking it is not a butterfly until it finishes metamorphosis. I'm still work on this argument though, so please feel free to poke holes in it.

Hi Kevin. You claim that humans have rights. What is your response to people like Kelsen or other iuspositivists that deny this?

How do you reconcile this stance with Jeremiah 1:5. I see a lot of people refer to that as an anti-abortion stance in the Bible since it claims spiritual identity prior to creation. To be clear, I don’t support bans on abortion, personally if I was a woman I wouldn’t get one unless I had a life threatening pregnancy, but I’m not a woman so my personal opinion ultimately doesn’t matter, just curious as to how the passage is interpreted by you.

The answer is to say yes I’m going to. Because that fetus has the same amount of human DNA as the turd in my body

That is a great good point about the linguistics confusion. The real issue is what is a human “being”. That’s still up for debate but it is almost seems unresolvable in the sense that consciousness is always going to be unresolved. But consciousness seems to be the key threshold in order for human being to exist. Below consciousness there seems to be nothingness.

There is a very big difference, human life starts at conception, a human toe is a part of a human, since conception a human life begins, it's an actual human, not just a part of it

No we don’t define or decide “humanness”. From conception the mass consensus is that the developing offspring is indeed human. Location and development do not change ontology

I think it depends on one's view of fetuses. A good analogy might be Aristotle's philosophy of act and potency, where the problem can be illustrated by talking about a tree seed as a *tree in potential* and the same tree as a *tree in action*.

So, is this along the same lines as the argument about the Ship of Theseus?

I look at it as moral probability vs moral weight from the book the external reality. Moral probability is how much moral potential something could have vs how much weight or acknowledgement morally something has to someone. If someone decides to terminate in a specific circumstance regardless if it is right or wrong, I think if somebody does not acknowledge there was moral weight in the act of termination that is where I find morality being violated. By the indifference of the choice, not in the choice itself.

If you believe this to be true then you cannot differentiate a fetus from a chicken to that of a human. You need reference. You would say that this fetus comes from a chicken, making it a chicken fetus. A fetus that derives from a human is a human fetus. Human life starts at conception. That is how we are able to say that HUMAN life goes through various stages of human development
