And you did well as far as that when. Unfortunately knocking out one of many counterarguments does not really help us to make a determination.


Sadly we just do not know exactly when one becomes a person. Anyone who steadfastly insists that we do is in error. Which is of course why I would err on the side of caution and choose not too kill many living humans that just may be persons (and in just a few days do lack none of the characteristics that other persons don't also lack) rather than to err on the side of an unproven theory that they are not. I certainly would not kill them those few more days later when they actually have all the characteristics that others have with the somewhat unimportant exception of breathing gaseous oxygen rather than oxygen in solution.


Erring on the side of caution is part of our system of jurisprudence that makes our country great.
