abortion question?

Question

If your against it or for it- I would like your opinion. I get bored and think of weird stuff, this is barely a theory- just looking for polite opinions.

Sperm can move on its on. Sperm somehow knows to get to the egg, and then get inside the egg. I feel that it is safe to say sperm is living, not a human, but alive like germs are. If that is true, would not the same be said for the egg? Even if not, if sperm is alive would not the mixture of sperm and an egg be something alive? Unless the sperm dies when it gets inside the egg (if it does then i do not see how it would form a baby) does this not mean a 2 day old fetus is alive is some way?

Im not trying to change peoples opinion on abortion- but if a 2day old fetus is alive, in the same manner of the sperm.

Comments please?

instead of telling me if your against or for abortion, why dont you answer my question.

If you keep reading, my question is asking what someone thinks about this idea

Answer 1

They kill babies, its sick, its disgusting, it should be banned, theres no reason for killing your own flesh and blood but not taking your life with it, what cowards we have on this earth!

Answer 2

If Sperm and Eggs are alive, then every time a bloke masturbates he is commiting murder. Everytime a woman has a period where she commits murder. Everytime you wash the dishes or pour disinfectant down the toilet you are murdering bacteria.

Abortion should only be considered murder if the foetus could live outside the womb. A 2 day old foetus would not survive without the host. And abortion is not generally done after 12 weeks, and if so only for medical reasons.

AJ - Catholic Law also says that a still born child should not be baptised as a child is not alive until it has drawn its first breath.

hladinisakti - If life can only come from the "living entity" being transferred during sex - how do you explain Dolly the sheep.

Answer 3

During sexual intercourse, the soul is transferred through the semen of the father into the mother's womb in order to produce a particular type of body. it is not the semen of the man that creates life within the womb of a woman; rather, the living entity, the soul, takes shelter in a particle of semen and is then pushed into the womb of a woman. Then the body develops. There is no possibility of creating a living entity without the presence of the soul simply by sexual intercourse. The materialistic theory that there is no soul and that a child is born simply by material combination of the sperm and ovum is not very feasible. It is unacceptable.

Answer 4

this is not a religious question. it is a biology issue...one that was decided a long time ago. Life never really "begins", it only ends. The result of the living genetic material that bonds in the egg at fertilization is a baby. It's a fact. Regardless of the stage of development, genetic uniqueness, and therefore human identity, is achieved at conception. The process of a persons development, is in itself, proof of personal autonomy apart from the mother's biology/function. In other words, the only function (ironic) of the mother is to nuture and protect the developing baby-who in a matter of days has brainwaves and soon develops its own heart beat, then appendages etc.

Answer 5

Sure, a sperm cell is a living cell. So is an egg cell. So is a skin cell, or a blood cell, or any number of cells in your body.
Uncounted numbers of your body's cells die daily. Every time you wash your face, you are washing off dead skin cells.
Every time a woman has her period, she passes zillions of cells, among them, the egg cell that her body made that month that did not get fertilized by a man's sperm cell. Every time a guy has a "wet dream", he passes millions of sperm cells. When these li'l guys leave his body and go out into the sheets, they die.
But, when they have sex, and one of those li'l tadpoles finds her ladyship's egg and manages to wriggle inside, a miracle happens. A new life begins.
Ask any breeder of, say, champion show dogs. When his prize b#tch is pregnant, he will proudly tell you that there is a new litter of pups on the way.
But when it is his girlfriend, the b#tch is getting rid of a clump of cells.
Now, how is it a dog is having puppies, but a woman is excising a clump of cells? I never could figure that one out.....

Answer 6

To carry you thoughts to a conclusion every woman would have to allow sperm from any man asking to enter her in the chance that it would be able to stay alive and bring full life to the ovum.

I doubt you will find ten women throughout the world that would accept that conclusion as a natural or Gods law.

Answer 7

You should be in biology section, so I'll give you a religious answer.

You will recall that when Jesus was miraculously conceived, Mary went to visit her kindred, Elizabeth, who was six-months pregnant.

The second-trimester John leaped in his mothers womb at the presence of the newly-conceived fetus in Mary's womb. Yes, Jesus was God from that moment of conception.

How sad that the time came when God had to write a law stating: "Thou shalt not kill."

Life is precious, yet some murder the innocent like they did Jesus, and set free the guilty, like they did Barabbas, the murderer.

God shows us a better way by fulfilling His law through love, and that means loving potential friends in the uterus.

Blessings and peace, One-Way

Answer 8

I agree. Yes, you are correct in your thinking. A 2 day old fetus is alive and has the genetic information (DNA) that it will carry thoughout its life.

I am against abortion.

Answer 9

I'm fully against abortion. If killing is against the law then why is abortion legal. Same thing. Also Catholic law says a baby is alive at conception.

Answer 10

actually the first tri-mester the "fetus"is merely a parasite living of the host,getting all its nutrients and oxygen from the mother,it has no thought,sight,sound,in the second term the parasite becomes a human fetus.eyes that see,possiblt taste,sight,hearing,feelings,the third tri-mester the fetus becomes an infant waiting to be born,the sperm is like a germ,virus,fetalizer,the egg is the same,a host

Answer 11

I'm for the CHOICE. Not necessarily for the action, but I believe that women have the right to choose.

I certainly do think that it's wrong for women to abuse the priveledge and have six abortions in a span of a few months--but women who are raped, or will die along with their baby upon birth, or are too young, etc., are more justified. Personally, I don't think I'd be able to go through with it.

Edit: That WAS your question. You said, "If your against it or for it- I would like your opinion."

And I didn't answer the second question because I didn't understand it. I highly doubt you were really comparing germs to fetuses, because I wouldn't give killing a germ a second thought...
