Sounds like an interesting read. Can you give us the title and author? Sent from my LG-H900 using Tapatalk

The Babylonian story is a retelling of the Genesis account. Sent from my LG-H900 using Tapatalk

I believe it is you that is mis-reading this. Exodus 21 literally say that the baby come forth, as in a premature birth, not a miscarriage. Nowhere in the verses does it say that the baby dies. Also, if the baby is born alive then the punishment is for any further harm that comes to the mother...

If it's not a human being then what kind of being is it? A dog, a cat, maybe an elephant? And if starts out as a different kind of being then please tell me when and how it changes into a human being. Remember human beings only reproduce other human beings. It is a distinct entity and it is human.

You are confusing parts with wholes. Arms, legs, livers, hearts and brains are parts of a human being and not a whole human being. The unborn on the other hand are whole human beings from conception. It's also looks like you left off the second part of the definition (on purpose maybe). Since...

OK let's break this down. Science says that the unborn are human beings from conception and the unborn has done nothing worthy of death, making it innocent. That makes you 0 for 2, but you are entitled to your opinion.

I don't see "I want to kill an innocent human being because it's inconvenient" as justification. Killing innocent human beings is Immoral. Pulling the plug on someone who is brain dead is not considered killing them since they are already dead. Has nothing to do with being a person or not. The...

Definition of human being: any individual of the genus Homo, especially a member of the species Homo sapiens. You see, it's not my criteria that makes the unborn a human being, it's science that says the unborn are human beings from conception. The unborn are whole human entities and human...

Justification. No human being should kill another human being without proper justification. The only proper justification I see is defending yourself, your family, your friends, your country or anyone for that matter that is threatened by someone that is trying to do them physical harm. Since...

You are correct, all those things are alive. But those things don't have the same right to life as human beings do. It's not morally wrong to kill those things as it is to kill a human being. Personhood is the worst way to determine if it's okay to kill another human being. We called blacks...

Definition of human being: any individual of the genus Homo, especially a member of the species Homo sapiens. Biological science classifies us as human beings. It has nothing to do with being humane. Some animals can be considered humane but can not be considered as human.

Being human beings is exactly why it's wrong to kill another human being without justification and not some ambitious, subjectively defined term as person. We should never use person or personhood to determine if it's okay to kill another human being. Now you're misrepresenting what I have...

But it's not just a something it's a human being from conception and it is always wrong (immoral) to kill an innocent human being.

First, hospitals policy on when to pronounce someone dead has nothing to do with science. Second, just because it may be hard for a hospital to tell if someone is dead does not mean that we can't tell if anyone is dead, or alive for that matter. Scientist generally agree that anything that...

Wow, I feel like this is the first time we are discussing this. First, let me quote you so you don't say that you never said it. You said, "in terms of a general standard of personhood". There is no "general standard of personhood " and there never will be. Second, you call the unborn a...

Even if that is so, science can still tell us when someone is dead or alive.

Then what "terms of universal standard " were you talking about?

Science says that there is a distinct entity growing inside the mother. If it is not a human being then what kind of being is it? And if it's not human then please tell me how and when this non human entity changes into a human entity. Science tells us that human beings only produce other human...

There is no universal standard for personhood and there never will be. Not with the way some humans have been labeled as non-persons.
