Can abortion be compared to other forms of historical genocide?

But a kangaroo only has 12 chromosomes (less than a human egg or sperm) and they are alive, why not sperm and eggs seperately?

No, it cannot. The odds of that specific potential, that set of genetics, the person that would become to be repeated is astronomical.

It still has the full DNA of a human. You cant garuntee a baby would live after the 9 months.
To say that life begins only when the featus can survive without the mother is invalid, its different in every circumstance. There are instances of babies being born while still in the legal abortion time, and as we progress who is to say we cannot sustain life from an earlier period.

I'm not too sure about kangaroos, but I'm just talking about humans at the moment.

Just to note im playing devils advocate, i dont agree with how abortion is used, but i wouldnt take that right away.
I have no idea when life begins, conception, at heartbeat, when brain activity starts, when the featus begins to move, when it can survive on its own?
When do you think life begins?

I can repeat the reproductive process every single month. Just because the results may vary, doesn't make that process any less possible each month. I'm only talking healthy fertal couples for the sake of my arguement.

Yes and there are instances when babies die the moment they take a breath. SImply being born doesn't garentee a human will be created.

And if you read the bible there is an instance where a sperm and egg never comming in contact with each other and that still creating a person. Funny why religious people don't highlight that as the moment of creation. LOL Not that your religious or that i'm refuring to you.

But my point is, you can't point the extreme situations as a point of reference for the majority if pregnacies and human reproduction.

I'm not talking about the process though. I'm talking about that result.

without the process.. you don't have the result. Just like if the woman at the bar says no to the guy for a night of passion... you don't have the result of a baby... AKA abortion.

The process is what i'm questioning.

I think you just reiterated my point...

You can never be sure whether a baby will survive whether conception has just happened or the woman is giving birth. But survival doesn't denote life.

No one can be sure when life starts, which is why abortion is such a personal thing, and why it causes so much anguish - whether at the point of doing it or later on in life.

and well, we can't ALL be the mother of god

Your original question is why people hold the moment conception so sacred, which I gave a possible answer for. Now I'm not sure what you're asking or what your point is, because nobody what talking about the process.

Well first, I know what the answer is, I just like to engadge with other people in calm conversation.

What I'm looking for is consistancy across the board based on reality.

Of course I'm not proposing its murder of a potential baby every time a woman says no to sex with a man. That would be just silly. The point I'm bringing up is... life simply doesn't begin when a egg and sperm meet any more than when a man asks a woman(or vs versa go womens lib) for sex. So to hang on to the idea thats when life begins is just silly.

See?

I'm proving a point by asking a question I already know the answer to. I'm also spuring conversation about a hot topic and creating interest on the topic at hand, which is abortion. Its a form of recreation for me and find it intelectualy simulating.

But people arguing that as soon as the egg and sperm come together (no pun intended) they say that's life, surely if that's life and kangaroos are life it means that eggs and sperm are 'life' too.

I would say it's more spiritual (not in the "god will punish you" sense) than silly. Some people see real value in that connection reguardless of the fact that it's just a few cells. It's not about the scientific definitions of what's a person, or what's alive, or what has a conciousness; it's about that connection being made between two people and then it's beautiful results carelessly destroyed. Some people hold that connection to be sacred.

And you're asking about people's opinions, so how can you already know the answer?

Well earth worms can be both sexes at once. and some snails can reproduce without any sex at all. Lets stick to humans for the sake of our own sanity.
