"Should the Unborn be Considered Human?" A College Student's Final Project
UAB ^ | 04/23/2008 | Ultra Sonic 007

Greetings.

To those of you who know me, you'll know I've written extensively on the subject of abortion.

Should the Unborn be Considered Human? and Abortion Proposal: A Need for Education were my final papers for English 101 and English 102. They both served as the base for my final project in Computer Science 101, where the final grade depended heavily on one's ability to design a website.

The instructors said to base your website's final project on a term paper, or any subject of term paper length. My previous two papers on abortion immediately leapt to mind.

However, my final project ended up going far beyond my two papers. It became enormous. As such, it is, thus far, my ultimate work with regards to my Pro-Life views. Within this work are five arguments, based on biology, philosophy, morality, legality, and reality. Points and counterpoints are offered (many coming from Pro-Choice activist T.F. Barans, who is a REAL piece of work).

You can click on the link above to go straight to the project index page, or you can go straight to my final project here. Or for the more light-hearted among you, you can begin from my website index and goof around first before moving on. I really do suggest viewing the webpage; I could post all the material here, but then a lot of the functionality would be lost.

I hope you all approve of the final project. I spent a lot of work on it. Spread it to other Pro-Lifers for use if you want to.

Enjoy.

You should consider abortion from an economic axis of argument sometime. Start from looking at the lost economic opportunity, etc.

It’s having a pretty big impact in the black community, and ironically enough, among liberals. Demographics are destiny, if liberals assassinate enough of their own offspring, while conservatives keep having babies who grow up in political conservative contexts, then before long you start to feel the economic aspects.

If say one in one million may be ‘extraordinary’ and hold the innate ability to cut through scientifc, engineering, or medical mysteries, what does that cost society?

“”Should the Unborn be Considered Human?” A College Student’s Final Project”

For a practicing Christian there is only one example needed to prove the humanity of a fetus: Lk 1:42-44

As an added bonus it is also proof that Mary is the Mother of God. Why else should Elizabeth refer to Mary as “the mother of my Lord”?

No, the unborn should not be “considered” human. Being human and being a human being are not discretionary states, one being defined into or out of existence by others for their own purposes. From the time the human sperm and human ovum unite to make a genetically unique individual, that individual is a human being, be it ever so humble. It may be largely undeveloped and unborn, but it is still a lesser developed and unborn human being. Its state of development isn’t commensurate with its inherent worth.

Re: Human or not; aka “A Choice to Murder”
I ask “Have you studied biology in high school?”
Usual response is “Oh, that’s different a fetus can’t live on its own.”
I then ask whether they are in favor of killing old people in nursing homes who also can’t live on their own.
Response: “Oh, that’s different.”
“OK, how is it different?”
Response: “It just is.”
Don’t even need to address theology or morality with these secular, immoral vermin.
Science and logic aborts their argument every time.

Addressed to some degree in Argument 5: Reality.

College student flunks: “Human” is an adjective.

'Human' is being used to denote one's own inherent humanity, or exhibiting the innate quality one associates with humans. Used in the following manner:

Guy: That thing's not even HUMAN!

Except used here in my argument to denote the debate over whether or not the unborn should be considered human, and my website project delves deep into the subject. For the record, I think - KNOW - that the unborn are human.

“Don’t even need to address theology or morality with these secular, immoral vermin.”

These secular, immoral vermin have their defenders in the Supreme Court. Now THAT is chilling.

Even in Nazi Germany, mass euthanasia of the unwanted of society took place on the sly without the official sanction of a court of law. In our country murder of the unborn has become openly acceptable.

I don't know why people are misunderstanding your post. I had no trouble seeing where you were quoting and what you were saying about your own project. Lot's of kneejerk readers here who are darned near illiterate.

Now, I'm off to check out your project.

Your website looks great! I read from the start into the first biological argument page and it is very good. I will have to come back to it when I’m not as tired but it is bookmarked in my ‘Abortion’ folder where I keep pro-life/abortion articles. Good for you for doing this.

“Should the Unborn be Considered Human?”

Easy: does the unborn baby have human DNA? This it is, indeed, human. End of story.
