Scientists Able to Define Life on Saturn Moon But Not In the Womb

Am I the only person with a scientific background that finds it perplexing that secular scientists have absolutely no difficulty suggesting the possibility of bizarre micro-organism life-forms (prokaryotes) existing on a small frozen moon in outer space, but are totally unable to denote or acknowledge a human zygote or embryo in the womb as a living organism solely for the murderous purpose of killing an unborn child?

Imagine the universal condemnation and rebuke you would suffer if you suggested terminating some extra-terrestrial bacterium's life-force. But an unborn child? No problem! Hypocritical and disgusting!

Perhaps astronomers are more honest the medical doctors...although the only professional astronomer I've met was a real jerk (an honest jerk though).

[Canedawg]

Excellent point.

The issue is not whether a human embryo is alive. For the most part, everyone agrees that human embryos are alive. The issue is whether they are human persons, with the rights that we are endowed as human persons.

Interesting, but according to the left, animals have rights.

So why I not human embryos?

[DoughtyOne]

I may stand corrected one day, but I suspect the scientists have this exactly backwards. There is life in the womb and the Saturn moon will be found devoid of it.

[Denver Ditdat]

Oh, they don't deny the existence of life in the womb. They just grant themselves the right to snuff it out.

I'm jotting this thread down for "most improbable pretext for an abortion screed" for 2006.

[Hildy]

geez..now I've seen it all.

[HOTTIEBOY]

Every time you wash your hands you kill millions of microorganisms.

Shame on you.

[tfecw]

They don't deny there is life in the womb. Where did you get that idea from?

[R. Scott]

… but are totally unable to denote or acknowledge a human zygote or embryo in the womb as a living organism…

I have never heard it referred to as not living. I had a wart removed long ago – it was living tissue, but was part of me. It was not independent life. Viability is the sticking point – at what point does the unborn become an independent life form.

[mrexitement]

Is it a disagreement over when life begins or is it a disagreement over when it is morally acceptable to end that life? I think the latter argument causes the controversy.

That astronaut on Survivor last night seemed like a nice guy . . .

[SIRTRIS]

Well, can we wait about 6 yrs and get the childs opinion first?

[nightdriver]

"The issue is whether they are human persons, with the rights that we are endowed as human persons."

The US Supreme Court seems to be especially dumbfounded as to what constitutes "personhood."

Nothing except nourishment has to be added to a human zygote in the womb to grow into a "person," even though the reprobates in the USSC don't want to acknowledge it.

In 1857, they also said that a black person wasn't a person.

They definitely act like they are a cup and saucer short of a full place setting.

[MonroeDNA]

No, you're a nutcase.

Scientists?

Don't you mean "Politicians", "Lawyers" and "Liberals"?

Any scientist will tell you that even an unfertilized ovum is a living cell.

[MonroeDNA]

Everytime I scratch my nose, I destroy thousands of "life" cells.

I usually laugh, "Bwahahaha! DIE life!"

Then scratch my butt, to add insult to injury.

[MonroeDNA]

So you hate masturbation, too, because of the life lost?
