[QUOTE]Originally posted by Zefram: [QB] [QUOTE]So, where's your scientific evidence that an embryo is a sentient person?[/QUOTE]I never said that an embryo is a sentient person. If sentience is a requirement to be accorded status as a human being, since a child isn't truly self-aware until some time after birth, should we allow the abortion of those who have already been born? Additionally, animals (the vast majority anyway) aren't sentient either, yet they are accorded some legal protection, especially the endangered ones. [QUOTE]And, obviously, you can't use the Christian scriptures as that evidence since, one, we're not all Christians...[/QUOTE]I had not intention of bringing the Bible into this since it's futile to try to defend your position using a text that not all the arguing parties agree on as an authoratative source. However... [QUOTE]...the bible says the unborn aren't people, too...[/QUOTE]I honestly can't find any scripture that supports this statement, however Jeremiah 1:5 says: "Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations." This verse certainly seems to suggest that the Lord considered Jeremiah to be a person long before he was physically born. [/QB][/QUOTE]
