Polymirize continues to rack up credibility as he fends off one after another...Well done. :thumbsup:
But who's to say an unborn child isn't alive, That's like saying a Kangaroo joey in it's mothers pouch isn't alive. Wait You'll argue the breathing part.
Ok Now I'll compare a fetus to a common house plant, the rubber tree. When you go to clone a rubber tree one method is to slit the stalk halfway and to tie on a bag of moist growing medium for the roots to form in. It still gets nurtishment from the main plant while growing a foundation for which it can grow independently. Even if the mother plant dies while the roots are forming if there is a begining of roots the cloned portion still attached can survive as the mother parishes. Is that clone not alive because it is begining a new being from an established one? Is that clone alive but only in the sense that it is still conected to the mother, thus only the mother is alive?
How about the parasites and organisms that live and breed and form inside of our bodies comsuming us? Are they not alive because we sustain them and transport their nutrients and oxygen to them. A tape worm is alive, so it a tumor. No brain you argue? A jelly fish and many sea creatures have no true brain only nuclie to dictate the function of the organism, and since every cell has a nuclie every cell single or making up fetus is alive, It just makes us feel better if we don't think that way.
