Of course it can.  Are you arguing that medical science and developmental biology are subjective and not actual sciences?




Which two cells?  Two skin cells?  Two liver cells?  Two sperm?




Since no specific group is excluded, then all groups are included.  That is what is ment by the term EQUAL PROTECTION CLAUSE when people talk about the 14th amendment.  The only mention of being born is to clarify that people who are born here are US citizens and as citizens they enjoy certain rights and responsibilites that non citizens don't and I am not arguing for citizenship for unborns.  Of course, the lives of non citizens are also protected by the 14th amendment.




Do you know so little about anything because you don't know how to research a topic or because you are too lazy to research a topic.


In 1840 Albrecht von Roelliker proved that sperm and eggs are the reproductive cells of human beings.  In 1856 Nathaniel Pringsheim first actually observed how a sperm cell penetrated an egg cell. By 1869  Friedrich Miescher had isolated DNA.  Feel free to fact check me if you like.  By the time the 14th amendment was written, we had a very good grasp of developmental biology.





They would have no such thing by my reasoning.  The constitution clearly states that in order to be a citizen, one must either be born here or naturalized.
