Does a Person Exist at the Moment of Conception? (moral, abortion)

[Shadow Wolf]

Ive always thought that life begins at conception, since neither sperm nor ovum can develop into a living thing on thier own.

Linwood,please retrace my response and you will see that it was not directed to you, but to seagull, as he reponded to pah's oringinal question.
I know you invest alot of time in these threads,but I was'nt talking with you here, so don't take it so personal ,if the shoe fits wear it. if not ,don't force it on ,it makes it uncomfortable for everyone

Quote seagull's response
"No. That was a simple answer."!

Assumptions,yes I totally agree, they are a commonly extended and cleverly disguised,

Why do you attempt to pull the splinter out of my eye ,when you yourself have a log portruding out of your own eye.

I'm not so concerned with sperm and ova but I am concerned that some life begins well after conception, as the artilcle states. I'm concerned that at the moment of conception and for a brief time thereafter there is not a genetic human being.

As I spend significant time, Roli. And I feel that time is wasted when there is no comment from a poster on the opening post. Read the article, Roli, and stop commenting on a style of answer or disregarding other commentators.

I`ve made nothing personal and this is a public forum.
If you don`t want your posts commented on don`t post them.

I will be more than happy to admit and retract to any incorrect assumptions I`ve made if you`d only point them out.

I think the answer's yes.. but I've had a couple of beers and I can't make head nor tail of any of this; I think I'll go back to my 'Noddy and Bigears' books - oh, no, I can't because someone suggested that since they were having a homosexual relationship the books ought to be banned.....

I'll go to sleep, and dream of God...
