It also appears as if Pale rider is more interested in insulting others than he is of disproving our evidence. I say a sperm and egg are just as important to the development of the fetus, but he completely ignores that post, even though it brings fully reasonable points to the table. he is too bust arguing with starboy to actually realize that he is evenly matched, if not beaten by starboy. Starboy is not a fool, and neither is PAle rider, they just disagree, and therefore, the other is stupid, ignorant, and incapable of understanding big words, even though I'm sure that's not the case.

oh, and Pale rider, using your mastery of HTLM to use bold, italics, and underline will not make your points better.

And starboy, after reading through the whole thing, I can see that Pale rider started the insulting first, so don't let him get to you, it's just his way of defending himself when there's nothing left to defend. Don't be brought down to his level of insulting and stuff. You have both made good points.

Runa, I ignored the "sperm / egg" argument because I have already completely torn it down once already. I guess you didn't read as well as you claimed.

Sperm and eggs are cells belonging to the body from which they came. Your eggs can be identified via DNA testing as part of your body. Eggs and sperm are unique in that they only have half a set of chromosomes but to your body they are no more important than fingernail clippings. They are your cells. Their uniqueness is that they represent potential life.

Once sperm and egg get together and each contribute their half set of chromosomes, both sperm and egg cease to exist. As I said, they represent potential life. At this point, their potential has been realized and a new life is started. That new life is unique. Not part of the mother's body, not part of the father's body. It has its own DNA fingerprint and its own metabolism.

This is basic biology. One would expect not to have to explain it to adults but there, I have explained it twice. If you dissagree, then kindly provide some scientific evidence that proves that I am wrong. Otherwise, drop the sperm / egg argument from your repertoire as it is not valid.

And you will notice that starboy has not and never will reference a single scientific publication to lend weight to his argument since science has stated quite clearly when human life begins.


It may be that your sole purpose in life is to serve as a warning to others.
