Topic: Abortion
Quote: I think it's a stretch to take a genetic definition of human life to count as a moral definition of personhood because then we must admit non-persons such as cells, organs, tumours, etc to personhood. It's better to define people formally as well as ontologically, unless we want to define things as their constitutive elements.
Response: A human zygote along with its unique genetic code and great potential is a human life, bottom line. Where do you get this idea of "personhood" anyway?
