Organism1

Developmental2
- Beginning with Aristotle, quickening divided the developmental stages of embryo and fetus. (asu.edu)
- Thus if by "potential" one means "potency" - i.e., that the early human embryo already exists with a human nature that is already there, and has its own inherent power or capacity (provided by that human nature) to simply grow bigger and bigger through all the usual developmental stages through birth, then such a statement stands as accurate - both scientifically and philosophically. (lifeissues.net)
Fetus5
- If the living fetus is human, he or she is a human life. (evolutionnews.org)
- Hence some will admit a fetus is a human life but claim he or she is not a "person," and therefore possesses less or zero moral value. (evolutionnews.org)
- Otherwise, such a treaty would not recognize the inherent human nature of the early human embryo or fetus until after birth , and thus cloning them and using them for research - both "therapeutic" and "reproductive" -- would not be banned, and women undergoing "infertility treatments" could surely be put in danger. (lifeissues.net)
- Obviously this is not done voluntarily by the unborn baby, nor does it provide consensual benefit to the unborn child, as it robs the fetus of the one true property the child possesses ' human life. (strike-the-root.com)
- Pro-abortionists argue that the fetus is not a human being, or a human being without rights, and that this naked aggression against the unborn child is justified, because if women are not allowed to kill their unborn infants, it violates a woman's rights. (strike-the-root.com)
Ovum2
- Dr. Bradley M. Patten from the University of Michigan wrote in Human Embryology that the union of the sperm and the ovum "initiates the life of a new individual" beginning "a new individual life history. (wikipedia.org)

- In modern terms, the question could be put instead at what point the developing individual develops personhood or selfhood. (wikipedia.org)

- It is the central question in the abortion debate: when does life begin? (percyparakh.com)
- Jacques Derrida has explored the fundamental question of the "limit" that identifies and differentiates the human animal from the nonhuman animal. (erudit.org)
- To pursue this question, however, means that our movement in language should be more radical than what has been undertaken to date, in which case we may well have to rectify our language by eschewing the very concepts "human" and "nonhuman," as well as the more basic concept "animal," which has its provenance in the Latin renditions of classical Greek philosophical nomenclature. (erudit.org)

- The question is, when does that human life acquire the status of becoming a human person whose life is inviolable? (christian.org.uk)
- So the question is why does the plainly apparent human life in the womb have no rights, and is subject to the termination of the one unique characteristic the unborn possesses, human life, at the whim of others. (strike-the-root.com)
- The first is that for the purposes of the right-to-life the unborn are declared to be non-persons, and as such they are not the subject of rights as the decision famously, or perhaps infamously stated: "We need not resolve the difficult question of when life begins. (cpforlife.org)
- In part one, Josh discusses the most important question when somebody states that the unborn is "not a human being," how to effectively "narrate the debate" when people don't answer our reasonable questions, and a few quick thoughts on Valerie's dad's assertion that the functional DNA of an early embryo is different from the DNA at later stages.

(secularprolife.org)
- As I clearly pointed out, and as ChuckyD blatantly ignored, the information necessary to explain life cannot be 'front-loaded' into the space-time of the universe: (see post 34) I wonder, besides denying that God had a direct hand in creating life, does ChuckyD also deny the existence of his own immaterial mind? (uncommondescent.com)
Fetuses3
- It's hard to argue with the science that proves fetuses are living human organisms, so some will take it a step further and admit they are, but still insist the unborn should not be treated as valuable "persons" like born humans are, because (1) they aren't as developed, (2) they are much smaller in size, and (3) they are more dependent upon others - especially their own mother - for survival.
