<p>Well again I said the fetus is alive. I wish people had better comprehension skills. Personhood was the term I was looking for earlier. Although the dna is human that is not the same thing as being a human being. Is sperm a human being? Because that has human dna. I realize this is past the grasp of some of you.</p>
<p>Fetus has potential to human life. It does not have life. It is not living.</p>
<p>I think women who get raped should have the option of the abortion. Otherwise, I think they should have to keep the baby. That's one of the risks of having sex.</p>

<p>Well it's not dead. Of course it's alive.</p>
<p>Jonathan k. I agree with you all the way!</p>

Faulty logic.</p>
<p>If it's not alive then what it is? It doesn't magically come alive at birth.</p>
<p>It's just not developed enough to be like...alive. I don't think it could feel it if it was "abortionized." It's hard to explain...</p>
<p>I think you should try to explain, because I am totally confused. If it's not alive what is it? </p>
<p>I understand the potential argument. It has the potential to be a person, as in an entity endowed with rights. But how can you argue that a fetus is not alive?</p>
<p>It is alive but it is not a human being until it is more developed. The cells are alive. They are growing. When they develop more a human baby is formed. But a baby does not appear at conception...</p>

<p>Yeah. That's what I was trying to say.</p>
<p>Of course a baby does not magically appear at conception, but it also does not magically morph into a human being one day. The cells that are created at conception are the basis for a new human. They have the potential to grow into a full human. The question is not whether the fetus is alive or human, because obviously it is both. What else besides human could it be? The question is whether or not it is a person.</p>
<p>Sure, it's a person, but not a whole person. He's not like you and me. He's very underdeveloped, where he couldn't feel anything if he was abortionized.</p>
<p>"it also does not magically morph into a human being one day. "</p>
<p>No it slowly grows into one...There is a certain point that it does become developed enough in the womb. That is why there are restrictions on how pregnant a women can be when she has an abortion.</p>
<p>Exactly. But it defeats the argument when people claim the fetus either isn't alive and isn't human, because that's just not true. It's of the human species all along, but it's just not a 'person' yet.</p>
<p>Exactly Jonathan. The fetus is premature and is not in the same condition as us. A fetuse is in the process of development. But it is life, but not complete life. Enough said.</p>
<p>Seriously we all agree but we are saying it in different ways. Scarletleavy I really don't know who your posts are geared at. It seems like you are trying to debate something that was not said.</p>
<p>My posts are geared at people who are implying perhaps the wrong things through the misuse of language. Like iloveagoodbrew who is claiming it isn't alive. And other people who I think mean person but instead say human. I'm not trying to debate anything, I'm just trying to clarify what some people mean.</p>
<p>See the fact that you all agree, is the true downfall of America.</p>

<p>I don't even live in America.</p>
