"Or you could say that it has to be viable without the aid of medical technology. (Not that you CAN'T use technology but that would be the threshold.)"
That is a horrible idea. We'll determine where life begins by its chances of survival without medical attention. There'd be tons of births that could be "aborted" after birth using this criteria.
No, the only logical times to define whether a fetus is "human" is at conception or at the moment of birth. Since almost nobody thinks aborting a 9 month fetus is acceptable, the only other logical option is conception. Anything in between is impossible to logically "prove" humanity.
Witty signature here...
Wii: 14 million by January I sold myself short
360: 13 million by January I sold microsoft short, but not as bad as Nintendo.
PS3: 6 million by January. If it approaches 8 mil i'll eat crow Mnn Crow is yummy.
With these results, I've determined that I suck at long term predictions, and will not long term predict anything ever again. Thus spaketh Crono.
