When does someone become a human?
September 10, 2021 at 19:38
Because you are juxtaposing the right to life of one being with the "right" to kill it on the other. There is no symmetry there

When does someone become a human?
September 10, 2021 at 19:37
So you think, without evidence, that life begins at birth and that before birth the rights are given by the mother to the not-human entity? You have n...
September 10, 2021 at 19:34
I appear to be? Wow. Where did it come from? Conception
September 10, 2021 at 19:29
Why would rights of anyone be diminished because it is inside someone else?
September 10, 2021 at 19:28
Rights come from humanity

Well read over my responses, I'll read over yours, and have good day and come down
September 10, 2021 at 19:22
It's a human inside a human. duh
September 10, 2021 at 19:20
You are not talking about a right to life of the mother but the "right" of her to take the rights of the unborn
September 10, 2021 at 19:19
You need to come down.
September 10, 2021 at 19:18
No YOU are being dishonest. You say the unborn have no rights. You have no evidence. But you ask me to prove the contrary. I said we must assume right...
September 10, 2021 at 19:17
Horrible Horrible Do you admit you have no proof of this? Some say only their race have rights
September 10, 2021 at 19:15
Huh?
September 10, 2021 at 19:14
You're saying that before birth you can take the life and after you can't. Why does the birth grant rights?
September 10, 2021 at 19:09
Hell no they don't.
September 10, 2021 at 19:08
So birth gives rights. Prove it
September 10, 2021 at 19:05
I said a woman has rights over her body not someone else's. Also, where is you infallible argument that proves when life rights begin? I show respect ...
September 10, 2021 at 18:54
It's a unique situation but a beautiful one and it's specialness doesn't grant women rights to stop the life of their unborn
September 10, 2021 at 18:50
I've already states the rights of the mother are over her body, not someone else's. Living inside someone doesn't mean less rights.
September 10, 2021 at 18:41
Can you prove from *logic* a one hour old baby has rights? Nop. It's a continuum on the logical end so you respect all life on the moral side. The mot...
September 10, 2021 at 18:38
The ends do not justify the means
September 10, 2021 at 18:33
Because it grows into a formed person. The formation has started at conception. Are you for saying that it's not a person before birth but is after? T...
September 10, 2021 at 18:21
It means rights start at conception. Birth doesn't start the right to life, nor development. That's obvious
September 10, 2021 at 18:07
You do use sophistry. The mother has no right over something that is not her body. Child's body, it's rights.
September 10, 2021 at 18:05
But then So there is the sophism. The one and only issue is whether the pre-born should be considered human. I can't prove I have rights nor that you ...
September 10, 2021 at 17:02
Life must be assumed to have rights. There are no counter rights of the mother. When this is not accepted morality slips into nihilism
September 10, 2021 at 16:50
Abortion advocates have trouble defending their positions without resorting to sophism. The first and only principle involved is whether the pre-born ...

I like to think of the universe as a ball (universe) eternally rolling down a hill (the vacuum) which cause friction (time) which causes curvatures in...

I believe the world has bad and good elements. Just like God, or the universe, or whatever, it's just the essence of reality
September 03, 2021 at 23:26
The universe is mathematical and what matter is as an essence is anyone's guess. Descartes, siding with skeptics on this, said that objects from far a...

Einstein did not deny that place and time exist in the Aristotelian sense. People who believe in the universe believe in this, but it is a relational ...
September 02, 2021 at 15:07
I have read the Physics. There is no middle ground between absolute time and space on one hand and relational theory. Aristotle rejected the former, c...

Man is not perfect as I said
September 02, 2021 at 03:29
The word God means moral perfection and innocence. Such a state seems impossible for humans and for a necessary being, although not for a lower "god"....
September 02, 2021 at 01:08
I think humans can't understand the world at all unless something remains a mystery. Once I think I understand everything suddenly nothing makes sense...
September 01, 2021 at 14:13
That's my point as well. Time is a mystical concept that is helpful in physics but there is really no stuff called time. Physics deals with stuff. Tim...

Only if they're infinite. Math does need a better explanation of this imo. Saying infinite steps has a finite sumation doesn't answer the paradox Whic...

In the USA it's childish to talk about yourself in the third person, as you seem to know:

There is no Newtonian spacetime. Newton kept space and time separate

You've asked about Machs principle, which you can just look up on Wikipedia. You ask *us* if there is something wrong with the Higg's mechanism when t...

Everywhere, on threads and your threads
August 31, 2021 at 22:32
So you don't work in the field and have no colleagues
August 31, 2021 at 22:27
So you have a degree or just studied there?
August 31, 2021 at 22:21
Then why are you asking people on a random website questions about physics when you can just ask your colleagues. Something doesnt add up
August 31, 2021 at 22:20
Everywhere. Where did you get your degree?
