Yes, it is a fertilized human egg. Is it a person? Does it have a soul? Does it think? The first 2 are mostly spiritual questions that only you can answer for yourself, but the last can be scientifically answered-- and the answer is **no**. To me, a major part of the definition of 'human life' involves the ability for cognitive ability(cerebral activity). That begins about 4-5 months, AFAIK. I've considerd myself 'pro life' most of my life-- but when I sit down and think about it independent of all the religious debates on either side of the issue, the cerebral activity thing makes the most sense to me. -- Derek _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
