Stardusty Psyche

Where did my post go?  It shows up on the outside menu, it shows up in my history, it does not show here.

Q1. Self replicating molecules, you can look it up, tons of info available on line.  For a conceptual beginning consider how crystals form and grow, say, a snowflake out of an amorphous cloud.

Q2. There are vast numbers of transitional fossils in our line and lots of other lines.  You seem to be repeating something from some creationist video o…[Read more]

Perception roughly converges reality, but is actually a controlled hallucination.  Your brain just processes electrochemical signals coming in.

Objects that seem to be fixed are actually changing.  Everything is in motion.

We function by making abstracted boundaries and considering the contents of those boundaries as fixed, at least long e…[Read more]

Oh your cruel assessment of and remarks towards others has also revealed a hateful streak

Hilarious.  You cannot find anything hateful in my position so you make some vague comment about my supposed cruelty.

Here’s a little news flash for you, people love babies, like, it’s kinda natural, right?  Now, if a baby is getting hurt, it’s almost u…[Read more]

“Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards, a Democrat, on Thursday signed an abortion ban that would prohibit women from terminating a pregnancy once a fetal heartbeat has been detected.”

Well, at least the fetal heartbeat criteria is some kind of physical function criteria, as opposed to the pure fantasy of a soul in the test tube, or wherever…[Read more]

So, now my question is, where would you put that line (ie., up to how many days after conception would you allow voluntary abortions)?

That’s a very important question, and a very good question.  The truth is, nobody knows exactly.

Scientifically minded people prefer and honest “nobody knows exactly but here are the brackets we can put…[Read more]

@CC

So once’s again I find myself curious who made you God, Mr. Psyche?   And why do you have such contempt for all those other humans?

then

What’s wrong with asking from where you draw the Authority of your self-certain (dare I say absolutist) judgement pronouncements?

You are a liar, and a rather stupid one, given that you are lying about your…[Read more]

@Pi

So, your opposition to abortion is because we don’t know enough about the developmental stages of the embryonic brain to accurately determine the point at which the fetal brain is ‘functioning”?

That’s an interesting take on my position, I hadn’t really consciously thought of things in quite that way, but it does raise the issue of how we ma…[Read more]

So once’s again I find myself curious who made you God, Mr. Psyche?   And why do you have such contempt for all those other humans?

So, once again, you ask asinine questions.

@CC

But in your world the wellbeing of the mother is irrelevant?

Emotional well being is irrelevant compared to the life of a child.  Parents don’t get to kill children because the parent is depressed, or scared, or angry, or sad, or any other emotion.

If the fetus is not a human being emotional well being is irrelevant because abortion is OK in…[Read more]

“Maybe this has been mentioned in the last 20 pages, but at what age do you believe an embryonic brain become a ‘functioning brain’?”

That is still an open scientific question.  Fortunately, there have been great advances in scanning technology and medical science in general, so I think that the more research is done the more accurately that…[Read more]

@Player

Stardust why arent you an organ donor and helping functioning brains to live??

You don’t know anything much about reproduction, very apparently.  Tell me, which organ does a mother donate to her in utero child?

Newsflash, she doesn’t even donate blood, much less an organ.

An appropriate question (as opposed to your ridiculous question)…[Read more]

@Player

Star dusty acknowledging an embryo is not a human being.  Hooray!!!

1 functioning brain per person.  You have 1 brain, and whatever I may or may not think of some of the opinions pinging about in it the fact you can post ordinary sentences proves your 1 brain is functioning.

0 functioning brains, therefore 0 persons

1 functioning b…[Read more]

@CC

Yet you call me debauched???

Based on your vague, meandering excuses for taking a human life for a variety of rationalizations, yes.

You even refuse to acknowledge that there is a difference between an unborn fetus and a living child.

There are differences between a new born baby and an adult.  There are differences between a comatose person…[Read more]

<div class=”bbp-reply-content”>

We decided to no longer keep frozen our one remaining embryo for invitro fertilization.

Are we murders?

</div>
Did your embryo have a brain functioning at least at the level of a legally alive human being?

If so, yes.

If not, no.

@TimB

The planet of debauchery on which we currently live, now has laws in the USA wherein a physician who helps a woman who has been raped with an abortion of a fetus, can wind up spending more time in jail than the rapist

Because murder for hire is a much worse crime than rape, and murdering an innocent 3rd person for money is particularly…[Read more]

@Mike,

Star, could you please give more detail about when this murder takes place?

Perhaps the most obvious place is Albuquerque NM, USA.  There 32 week old healthy in utero human beings are electively  killed and disposed of as medical waste.

That is quite illegal in most states, but not in NM.

Star it seems to me you are trying to give the f…

I’m questioning your ability to make an unborn fetus, the center of your moral world

I am questioning your ability to form rational sentences beyond a verbal whack-a-mole process wherein you clearly lack either the capacity or the willingness to absorb even a small set of assertions and ideas and facts and deal with them as a complete s…[Read more]

@CC

Now you’re a broken record.

Yet you do not learn, even though I clearly explain the truth to you repeatedly.

Where do you get your moral authority from? –

Morals are relative.  Most of us have the innate sensibility that electively taking a human life is profoundly wrong.

Hell how about legal authority, where do you grasp your’s from?

I am ver…[Read more]

@CC

I would suggest that’s because you have no appreciation for the “humanity aspect” of what abortions are about

The “humanity aspect” of abortion is when abortion takes a human life.  The epicenter of the American Holocaust Against the Unborn is Albuquerque NM, USA.

If any good comes from the fruitcakes in Alabama and all the rest it will b…[Read more]
