its not a human being. there, its not impossible.
what are the signs of life??
growth, movement, respiration, reproduction, digestion/energy making type stuff. and a couple more that i cant remeber from fith form bio.
a clump of matter has none of these, therefore, it is not alive. now, when it is older, and a concious being, it is alive, and should be treated accordingly. but before the 12 week period, no. im sorry msp. but your wrong, in every factual way.
you do realise that if a person crashes into a car, and the car contains a pregnant woman, 3 days before she is due to give birth. and said baby is killed directly from the accidnet. the law does not recognise this baby as a human. the person who caused the crash will not be charged with manslaughter.
now THAT is screwy, by that age it is a human. anytime before 12 weeks, its nothing more than a chickens egg.
(on your thing of murdering. statisticly, how many of murderers have been from poor backgrounds with inadequete/ neglectful upbringings?? even the ones from rich backgrounds have had some amount or trauma. so, these people who raised these murderers obviously wernt ready for kids. do you see my point??
by "murdering" one. you are potentially saving many more.)
