Topic: Abortion
Quote: This \'person\' concept also amazes me. A foetus is a stage in human development, something that begins at conception. It possesses unique DNA. But, rather than address it as human, we call it "person" on not a person.\nI too have little problems with 1st trimester and early 2nd abortions but don\'t like to get into quibbling over defining what a person is as I see slippery slope arguements in it.
Response: Yes, a foetus is human, made of human cells, and possessing of DNA. However, it is no more a person than my kidney. Personhood implies mental existance, something foetuses do not have before the end of the 2nd trimester.\n
