    This is HILARIOUS!!!!!

    So the fetus grows the organs neccessary in the instant of birth? Doesn't have them two seconds before birth, then POOF there they are when he is born! Amazing!!!! :lol:

    Really? A neonate cannot breathe on it's own? It cannot consume food when it is fed? It's body cannot function properly and digest food, it's circulatory system cannot process the oxygen it breathes? Oh right because it's not breathing, I forgot. A neonate is just a helpless being that lays there and slowly dies because it's own internal organs cannot process or function without it's biological mother there. I see.

    It seems you are insinuating that the majority of abortions occur the moment before birth. This is a serious misconception you have. The majority of abortions occur within the first trimester.

    It would seem that you are entitled of a refund, you have been cheated.

    There were no relevant questions asked, only an attempt to divert from facts you and your degree in biology can not refute.

    I am glad you can be also amused. Now all I have left is that hope that you can acquire knowledge.

    Did I say that?

    Do mean favor, birth a kid, let him fall and hit the floor, don't help him at all. See how long he survives without physically attention or momma feeding him.

    You people are arguing for the sake of arguing at the moment.

    Do me a favor and stay away from my uterus, thinking of my uterus and my reproductive rights, thank you.

    Both you and Whaler seem to fail to understand what we are talking about here, which is the difference between physical dependence (needing a respirator, life support system and so on to force your body to survive because it literally cannot function without the assistance of a machine or another person, in this case the woman) and social dependence (needing a care taker to feed you, watch you and make sure you get all you need to live.)

    That is the difference between those two things. Stop intentionally confusing them and behaving like dicks.

    That is what I would say to if I just got my argument blown out of the water too.

    An argument that relies on emotionally charged words, and distorted paraphrasing fails. Your claim that "The Merck Manual says a fetus is a baby" has been disproven repeatedly. It is both laughable and sad at the same time. You should be embarrassed.

    On the contrary, it has been upheld repeatedly! Have you read the thread?

    You should explain what you mean better then. Physical dependency describes the infant's inability to fend for itself does it not?

    I am behaving like a dick? Take a look in the mirror.

    A newborn will die without phsyical support. He/she cannot feed him/her self.

    A newborn absolutely cannot survive without another person supporting him or her. So you still are not making any sense.

    So does the adult exist as he/she is going through those stages of development? Of course he/she does. Just as a baby exists while going through stages of development. You guys are your own worst enemies here.

    You actually did. You claimed that a fetus does not have the organs neccessary to function outside the womb until after birth!

    If I did you should be able to point out where. Of course you will not be able to and are attempting to mask your inability to offer an intelligent rebuttal.

    Nobody said it was, but concepts, I know this is alien territory for you, can be applied to many situations. Development is a process that applies in innumerable situations and what they all have in common is that when something is undergoing development, it is not equivalent to the developed end product.

    Where in that post are the words "after birth" that you implied or lied that I used or meant?

    So you are now saying a fetus exists after birth?

    Infant - born

    fetus- unborn

    can I take the spoon out of your mouth now?
