If it's not human, then what is it? Is it a dog, or a cat? Get real. Life begins at conception. If you terminate it, regardless of whether you consider it a person or not, you are terminating a living being. And consider this. If it's a crime to k**l someone who has already been born, wouldn't you consider it a greater crime to deny an individual the chance of living?
OK, if you k**l a tumor, is that murder? It is alive and it is human and it does grow... It is more advanced than a zygote at conception.
You will undoubtedly argue that a tumor won't turn into a human being but the zygote will... true enough, but that is the issue, isn't it. When does a zygote become a human being?
That requires that you define what is a human being. Go ahead, offer your definition... If you can do that successfully, you'll change my mind and those of many people. Provide a scientifically/medically valid definition.
