You seemed to be begging the question and assuming that the term "fetus" describes something other than a human being. Clearly both our societies have decided that human beings have the right to live and unborns, at any stage are most certainly human beings.

Really? I can’t see why you would think that, considering the term is used throughout this thread and is included it its title. I used the term “foetus” because it is the correct medical term, I could’ve said “human foetus” but didn’t consider it necessary. Calling it a foetus or unborn (that doesn’t define species either) is for me irrelevant, it is what it is.


If there were in the world today any large number of people who desired their own happiness more than they desired the unhappiness of others, we could have paradise in a few years.
