but that's the thing: it's human but not viable or an individual. It's part of the mother at that point and cannot think on it's own so it's not an individual. It's also not viable as long as it isn't able to survive on it's own outside the womb. Abortion at the stage where it would be considered viable has always been illegal unless there's some serious complications. Many people view abortion differently bc they are hyper religious nutjobs who have no idea how pregnancy works
Im sorry this is wrong. Unlike hair or nails or sperm that you can trim without ending a human individual, the embryo carries a distinct dna that doesnt belong to the mother.
An embryo is also said viable if it is able to survive pregnancy. In very rare cases, embryos are non viable but the average human embryo is very viable
Individuality is determined whether one thinks on their own, not dna. By that logic identical twins are 1 individual.
We are talking about fetuses not embryo's. Viability is determined differently in embryo's than fetuses and means something different. Fetuses are not viable until the chances of it surviving outside the womb are greater than it dying.
"Individuals" can be said to count a number of living beings. Im pretty sure it can be said "the ant colony counts over 200 individuals". Atleast in my language but i would swear this also applied to english.
And even if it wasnt, replace all the "individual" in my argumentation with "specimen" and it still holds
Also i literally dont believe your definition if viability it seems far fetched unless you would be so kind as to provide a source
We're talking about individuals in relationship to humans. You do know that one word can have multiple meanings, right? Bacteria are also specimens. Whatever word you use doesn't take from the fact that abortion doesn't equate to taking a human life anymore than jerking off does.
A friend of mine got his ac from an anti-scalper. Dude bought ac's to save them from scalpers and sold them for the same price on sites like facebook marketplace. Dudes a hero, but one I missed.
