Why do people think a bunch of cells is a baby, did they not take biology lessons?
Wtih all this nonsense about killing babies and abortion with regards to morning after pills or abortion pills.
So not even taking the vacume aspiration.
But say days or a few wekks after sex.
How on earth is that a baby?
these people act like its a fully formed baby with a personaltiy and interest in stuff.
Its a bunch of cells, it has no thoughts or feeling sor emotions or awareness.
how about a reality check people?

To those who say how would I have liked it?
Well I would not have cared as not been aware.
And if you want to talk about a bunch of cells being life...
what next ban guys tossing off as thats potentail life too.
think about the poor sperm cells?
get real.
You base this on if it is a viable life form that would feel pain and distress if ended .

Plus better I would be aborted when not even aware of a thing...
then grow up as an unwanted, abused kids or adotped and feeling abandoned or abused in a kids home or gorw up crippled and deformed etc.
And why would you want to have a life where your mother resented you for ruining her life and stopping her travelijng and getting a career etc.
far better to be born when parents are readdy for you and been there and done that and want a kid...
then your life is one of love not pain.
As said As I live in reality if I was a sperm cell or an embero or cells I would not care as like would not have a barin...
bit like many here

Actually Several posters its me who is in reality not many of you.
As science shows that cells are not aware, dont have a brain, dont have a nervous system therefore not a baby

On and for the silly pbillies talking about potentail life you shouls live in the present.
As thats as daft as saying every egg cell is a potental life and every sperm cells as everyone was once one of thoase too.
so what next ba w&&&king and make sure no girl is allowed to have a period as must be made pregnant so no egg cells wasted.
as think about all the poor protential lifes.
And in 8 moths time it may resemble a baby but when we are talking about a few days or weeks it aint ababy as siad go and study and loose the emotionals and think rationally
2007-04-25 06:12:04 · update #4
And to those talking about afet about 8 weeks waht about before that? before the brain is formed.
As I do have a heart and care about the girl, my friend, sister or say a daughter and how much a unplanned unwanted pregnancy 95% of the time due to lack of sex ed due to the pro life relgious nuts is hurting her.
its the girl who has the prioroity not the growth in her.
And you think rationally and realisticall of what life a baby and potental child would have if born to somoen who is not ready and the sufferweing it would go though and the girl.
thats what matters

Well, it depends on which kind of cells. Let's suppose that you cut the tip of your finger off slicing vegetables. Is this "bunch of cells" a baby? No, they are now dead skin cells. Did they ever have any further potential? No, they were pretty much just a bunch of skin cells that would have eventually died and fallen off on their own.
But let's say that you are talking about a bunch of embryonic cells that the body may be willing to implant and support for a few months. These "bunch of cells" are technically a baby. It has all the make-up and potential to be a baby. And would it necessarily suffer the same fate as your skin cells with or without intervention? Most likely not.
I am intrigued by your supposition that a baby is only fully formed when it has "a personality and interest in stuff." How exactly does an "interest in stuff" make anyone worthy of living? Does the kind of "stuff" matter?
Also, I would really demand a better education in biology since you seem to be so proud of the one you've received. Especially since your arguements have absolutely nothing to do with the subject.
**Edit**
It is funny that you think that you are the one thinking rationally when you are claiming that "pro life relgious nuts" may hypothetically hurt someone that you might know.
Not intervening between the egg and the sperm has been a philosophical debate since the time they realized that, that is what created life. Why are some people comfortable with birth control, but not abortion? They just are.
You also have concern for the child that he or she may grow up to lead a miserable life. This is interesting because you have argued that the baby has no potential, yet you have assigned its potential as being one of misery as a reason for abortion. Even you who claim that the present is what matters have assigned potential to the "bunch of cells" as a reason to support abortion. That just doesn't make sense.

It is a baby- and I have to apologize to people on this site who may have had a miscarriage- it is a baby- it never ceases to amaze me that it is only a bunch of cells when you choose to take the babies life inside the womb- just because the baby is not fully developed does not make it any less human. The baby at birth isn't fully developed so could you chose to hurt the child or kill it and call it choice- of course not- I have told this story before- if it was just a bunch of cells- when that woman on the news a couple of years ago was stabbed in the stomach and the fetus died as well- there would have been only one murder charge- NO THERE WAS TWO. I know I am going to be known as a religious crazy woman- go ahead call me that if you want- I am a Christian- but even if I wasn't logic would tell me it is a baby from what I just told you.

yes I took a biology test and in fact I studied premed in college. I took a medical embryology class last year.
A bunch of cells???? is that what you call? I think you need to go educate yourself. Do you know how long the baby stays being "a bunch of cells for? It's not just a bunch of cells. It's millions of cells multiplying by hrs and forming layers of tissues and parts of the body. When that "bunch of cells" are just couple weeks you call it "embryo." by week 4-5 the baby develops the heart and brain. You tell me how this is just "bunch of cells"?
Obviously you are not a mother or a father and you have no idea how this works. To most mothers, we call that "bunch of cells" a "baby" once the conception occurs. It does not mean that the developing blastocyst has a form of a baby. It's the concept. It's that love for the developing baby. We call them babies the moment that "bunch of cells" devide.
You should be ashamed of yourself for posting such a stupid, immature question here with out knowing anything about biology or embryology. If you did take a bio class, go back to school cause I'm sure you failed it.
I feel so bad for you to have so much anger and attitude toward the world. Maybe seek a professional help? Maybe you should have gone to a school counseling center instead of taking a bio class cause you didn't learn anything there.
Hope you get a help to change your attitude and oh thanks for the 2 points
dude!!!! sperms can't become a baby. Sperms can't form babies by themselves. That's why many women call their babies "babies" once the conception occur. Then it has a potential of being a human being. You really dissapoint me. Please do not add more details cause you are making yourself look so stupid right now. peace
edit:
Like I said you should get some help after you wrote about it's better that you were aborted when you couldn't feel it then live when your parents didn't want you make me really sad for you. Obviously you don't appreciate life and there is a reason for that. I'm not sure what you went through when you were young but I know there is something. That's why I'm telling you to get help.

I believe women should be given the choice, however I think that it should mainly be used only when the woman is physically unable to handle it. I do not like the morning after pill personally because to me, it tells women and girls to go ahead and do their thing wether they are protected or not. I also believe that if a girl is raped and there is a pregnancy from it, there are usually mental problems that incur from baring a rapist's baby and also would be a stigma on the child because of it. Also, if born, unbelievable or not, the rapist has parental rights just like anyone else. That is abhorrent! If, however a woman gets pregnant and it is inconvenient for them at that point in their lives, they should have to suffer through the pregnancy and at least give the baby to someone who has not been able to. This option, I think more women reject because of pride..."I am not giving my baby away!" but in truth, all it is is pride because they are willing to do away with the child by terminating it....I could go on all night. Anyway, I have four beautiful girls and myself would always choose to birth and keep mine, but I still think it should be a choice. Good Question!

For all those ignoramuses out there a human foetus at 8 weeks gestation has all the main structures, a beating heart, bends the head and makes general movements and is startled which involves the whole body. There is brain stem activity as early as 54 days from conception and there is also fingerprint formation. If this does not constitute a real live baby then I don't know what does!!!!! No baby is born with interests!! Interests are a social developement as are many aspects of the personality. Being able to be startled by outside influences at 8 weeks gestation means that there is a psyche and life...

It's a good thing this is just online ....You are very ignorant and need a real lesson.
Try to convince me a baby isn't a baby. To me, I believe a baby is a baby once the heart is formed and pumping. End of discussion.
I lost my son at 18 weeks due to crack-heads like you thinking he wasn't a baby. He had arms and legs and a body and a head.
You've just proven that to be human doesn't just obviously mean that. You're not human, Even tho you are grown. You should shut up and not ask stupid questions

The reality is that this "bunch of cells" as you call it has the potential (given a normal course of events) to become a human being.
Just because it isn't fully formed doesn't, in my opinion, mean that it has the same value as a piece of garbage.
In practical terms it would be like a farmer laying waste his field of freshly planted seeds because he can't get profit from it yet.

I am seriously hurt and effected by your words for many people who lose a fetus early it is a baby abortion is a persons choice to end a developing life,But loseing one is a diffrent story i lost my baby to ectopic at 6 weeks and it wasent a cluster of cells it was tiny i admit but it had started to take the shape of a baby its ears and eyes had started forming along with buds which would have been its arms and legs the heart had begun to beat this was a life forming inside of me it was going to be my baby and i am truely saddend by your words.NO BABY WILL BE A CLUSTER OF CELLS FOR PARENTS IT WILL ALWAYS BE THE TINY LIFE THAT WAS FORMING.If it was only cells it wouldnt develope into a baby it would stay as a forming cluster such as a tumour........For all us who have lost our babys at this stage ignore this horrid question it was and always will be our BABIES!.

You are right...its not a baby...but it has a heartbeat. It is a bunch of cells with a a hearbeat. Sperm isn't alive as such as it does not have a heartbeat...you need to find yourself a new hobby...and by all means don't re-produce.

gosh you are inconsiderate and a jerk (i wish u were aborted)
1 - b/c it is the starting point of a baby -- true it has no emotions but it will very soon (it is almost like a toy at the beginning it is not all the way a toy it doesnt work all the way or completely but after it gets finished (born) than it works just like a baby)
wow u should really have been aborted ("a bunch of cells") thats how you started out
