Chameleon said: But what about before the embryo develops a nervous system? Is it then alright to have an abortion done at that early stage, because by our assumed definition of a “human being”, that stage of development would not be included?
That’s Vicelin’s personal definition. All of this is building up to show that everything depends on where you draw the line between organic mass and human. If you accept that everything after the line should be illegal, and everything before it should be legal, then it becomes clear the real issue is where that line should go.
