Do you oppose abortion because you consider that embryos are the seeds of human beings??

Question

Then, do you think that male masturbation should be banned, because it causes sperm cells to die, much like embryos?

Sperm cells are also seeds of human beings, should kinky teenagers go to jail for jacking off???

Answer 1

Ive tried this tactic, unfortunately, they are hellbent clung to the whole "fertilized embryo is different than an unfertilized egg and sperm separate"

Answer 2

Human beings don't have seeds. Plants do. Embryos, fetuses, newborns, toddlers, pre-adolescents, etc. ARE human beings. These terms simply describe different time points in the life of a human being. Sperm cells are not unique human beings. They are the cells of a man, and contain only his DNA. Once the sperm unites with the ovum, a new and unique human being is alive, with a new and distinct DNA that is his/hers alone, not that of the father or mother. The embryo or fetus does not have "the potential for life" (whatever that is). He/she has LIFE, and his/her life has the same value as anyone else's life.

Answer 3

The fetus has the potential for life and will, grow into life, will sperm cells without any outside interference grow into a human.... no. Yet the "embryo" has all the potential for life, and by killing it we are denying its right to life.

That being said most religions are not very happy with masturbation either.

>>Do you oppose abortion because you consider that embryos are the seeds of human beings??<<

No, I oppose abortion because human embryos are human beings. A new individual organism is created at fertilization:

------
Fertilization: Beginning a new organism

Fertilization is the process whereby two sex cells (gametes) fuse together to create a new individual with genetic potentials derived from both parents. Fertilization accomplishes two separate ends: sex (the combining of genes derived from the two parents) and reproduction (the creation of new organisms). Thus, the first function of fertilization is to transmit genes from parent to offspring, and the second is to initiate in the egg cytoplasm those reactions that permit development to proceed. -- Developmental Biology
