Inuyasha, you are a guy. You are not capable of getting pregnant. Why do you have such a strong investment in this argument?


Cause, everyone here was a baby once in the womb.

Because, it could be argued it is an attempt at ethnic cleansing.

Also I stumbled across something of interest:

The electrophysiologic rhythm of the brain de¬
velops early. Detailed EEG tracings have been
taken directly from the headend of 16 mm ( crownrump)
human embryos at 40-odd days gestation,
recovered from termination of pregnancies (Ja¬
pan)8 which revealed irregular slow waves, 0.2-2.0
per second at 10-90^ with superimposed fine
waves of 30-40 per second at 1-5/xv. Recordings from embryos of 45 to 120 days gestation through surface and depth electrodes have shown responses
to sedative and stimulant drugs, normal sleep spin¬
dles, and the effect of lack of oxygen by paroxys¬
mal high voltage slow waves and ultimate electrical
silence.7 The intra-uterine fetal brain responds to
biochemical changes associated with oxygen de¬
privation by abnormal EEG activity similar to that
produced in the adult brain.7 Thus at an early
prenatal stage of life, the EEG reflects a distinctly
individual pattern that soon becomes truly person¬
alized. This is not so the ECG in producing its
various types of records at all ages, many specimens
of each type being identical and lacking any indi¬
vidual quality

The Journal of the American Medical Association all the way back in 1964, so they have known for over 40 years that an embryo has brainwave activity, that's write, a child's brain is active before they are even a fetus.


A newborn does not have enough brain mass nor enough neural interconnections to manifest intelligence and self-awareness. In short, a newborn human is not a person.

Wait 3-6 months and one gets a person. It takes time to grow one.

Ah... but you'll never be able to convince someone who doesn't have children that that is the case. They think they are like TV newborns, who smile and coo and try to grab toys. They don't realize that those babies are 4 months +.
