From Debatepedia
[Edit] Main Question: Does Human Life Begin At Conception? |
[Edit] Background and ContextThe whole idea of human life beginning at conception is a polarizing issue that has existed for years. Various reasons this debate exists is because of abortion debates worldwide, must specifically in the United States. Contrary to popular liberal "extremist" thought there are numerous scientific facts that allow for debate for life beginning at conception. Mainly the debated ideal is (paraphrase) saying whether a fertilzed egg that is currently beginning the processes of life has the status of living or dead.Reasons for this conflict between the giving of the biological status of "living" is mainly because of abortion. Why it affects the debate abortion (see Debate: Abortion) so much is because if something is "aborted", another term for killing, and it is granted the term of "having life/living" the abortion would be a criminal and despised offense similar to murder, homicide, etc. Now the debate whether life begins at conception is subject to many different viewpoints ranging from objective to subjective and a myriad of combinations of both. Viewpoints and opinino of this issue are largely affected by the: religion, ethnic origin, scientific exposure, logic capability, and the moral/ethic boundaries of the given person.
