Embryos don't breathe...they have no heartbeat, because they have no heart. They don't think, because they possess no brain. So why don't you quit just saying things and actually do some research.

I meant "SOME people", not dome people.....I don't even know what the hell a dome person is.

That's funny they thought it was dome people...it looked more like do-do me instead!
This is my biggest gripe! When does life begin and when do they decide that life is no longer precious. We send all these x-embryos to fight idiot waged wars and our "idopresidency" thinks we may have killed oh, let's say 30,000 people...arrrghh! When do we stop caring about our little embryos!

Abortion is almost always WRONG. I have heard all the arguments.
"It's a woman's right" (haven't seen such a right in the US Constitution). "It's only a lump of cells." "It isn't alive" are the most popular of the "Pro-Choice" crowd.
Meanwhile, the "Pro-Life" crowd says it's God's will that there shouldn't be any abortions.
Quite frankly, none of those arguments do anything for me.
Is there something that all people of good will can agree upon? Perhaps it is this. An innocent human life should not be taken without just cause.
One may argue about the morality of killing during a war. Or there is the death penalty for people convicted of murder. And there is self-defense. I think that just about covers it.
Your neighbor plays his TV too loud at 3 AM? Not a reason to kill him. Your boss won't give you a raise? Not a reason to go postal (I used to work at the USPS during my college days). You're not ready to be a parent? I guess that's the question here.
Certainly, except where the life of the mother is in serious danger from the pregnancy, none of those arguable cases applies. For example, if she is a diabetic and the pregnancy might destroy her kidneys, then I think it should be up to her.
Well then, why do I say the abortion is wrong most of the time? Simple. I was born in January. Working backwards, I guess that I was conceived about the early part of April of the previous year. I am now an old f@rt. I claim to be human. I claim the right to be not terminated without just cause as stated above.
My DNA is the same as when I was 12 years old. Same person, different package. It's the same as when I was 3 1/2. Same person, different package. It's the same as when I was born. SPDP. It's the same as when I was just conceived. SPDP.
Unless you think that I am not a person now, I was also a person that April many years ago. I claim for that person the same rights to Life, Liberty and Property that the Constitution gives to me today.

If embryos don't have a heart, how did I hear and see my son's heartbeat at 6 weeks? At 8 weeks, we couldn't get the heartbeat because he didn't like the probe and he waved it off every time it came near him. He had the doctor and nurse hysterically laughing since they'd never seen that before. Seems to me he had to be doing some thinking, therefore had a brain, to decide he didn't like it and didn't want it done. He continued to do that sort of thing throughout the pregnancy. Nurses would get such a concerned look on their faces because they couldn't get a heartbeat and wouldn't believe me when I would tell them that he doesn't like it so he moves away. Some would move the paddle around till they found him some would insist on finding him with ultrasound, but he was always there. So, he was consistent from 8 weeks. That's personal research. I think you need to go back and do some research yourself.

I think people spend too much time arguing about words. "Life" is a good example. The egg cells inside an ovary exist as individual cells just like the skin cells in my arm - they have less chromosomes. When a reproduction-deficient sperm cell arrives, it doubles the amount of genetic material, and the zygote is ready to reproduce itself a billion times into (for example) a mammal, which does not need to breathe because it has a yolk to nourish it, later a placenta. Several dreamy months later this individual starts breathing air. More honesty, less pain and less misery would be nice.

Because just 16 days after fertilization, the egg has attached itself to the uterine wall, circulation has begun and the sections that eventually develop into lungs, heart, brain, nervous system, genitalia, etc. are clearly formed and rapidly producing.
Bacteria is a form of life, everyone agrees on that. What is so hard to understand about human cells dividing also being life?

"Dome" people???
An embryo IS a life! Look up tjhe definition of life in a dictionary!
Only a fool would think that an unborn child is NOT alive!

lol @ "dome" people.
I don't believe an embryo is a life until implanted, but I do respect those who believe it is. The biological fact is that close to 50 of all fertilized eggs never get implanted- they simply get carried out of the body.

ONCE removed from the human body the joining of sperm and egg to produce life is and or should be protected.THIS life should be nurished and allowed to grow to full adult-hood and into old age and death.
ONCE you begin to determine the point at which life exsists which is the point of union between sperm and egg that begins to replicate at what point does this control end
IN the near future the possibility of restoring life to people that have died can be a real possibility.private doctors signing paper work can declare a man dead and several days before natural death occurs a man can be frozen to later be thawe when technology catches up .Why are billionairse writting in there trusts provisions for the return of control of assests to themselves at some future date should they return from the dead .
IF death is not final then at what point does life begin .A one in a million shot that sperm and egg will unite to replicate unless done by science .SO this makes it a pretty good gamble that life choices to exist on its own from conception .

An embryo is the beginning of life, it is like a seed from where flowers, trees, grass and your vegetables that you eat come from. Think about it for awhile.

Because the Catholic Church, which is currently controlling our domestic and scientific policy, says so. Of course, it also says condoms don't prevent the spread of AIDS.
