"eggs are no more a human being then any other cell. an embryo is a human being for all purposes other then religious individuals who insist being human requires certain physical characteristics such as a brain or a heart or live birth, but when you start defining humans by physical characteristics, you can start defining them by having certain skin color, height, or weight, someone who supports killing embryos is no better then someone who supports killing certain races, or overweight people, or short people."
An embryo is not a human being by any means, as had this argument before. A human being breathes, circulates blood and gases, has a conscious, has neurological functions, oh and let's not forget can reproduce ... all of which an embryo is incapable of those making an egg (ovum) and an embryo pretty much similar other than the mitosis and cell division that is current being processed at the moment of time. Oh and that's not coming from a religious stand point, simply facts.
even you dont think what you're saying is true, because later on, you say that you think once they ahve a heart they're human. why not make it any other organ? why not say they're only human if they're white? why is giving the requirment of a heart any more legitimate? or why is giving any of the requirments you listed, breathe, circlatory system, consciousness, neurological function, and reproduction any more legitimate. if a scientist cuts the dick off an animal, the scientist doesnt say its no longer that animal. true with any of the other requirements.
