"It's not rocket science, and it's not a "technical" definition of the sort that requires a person to say that the day before the birthday, that's not a human being, but the day after, it is. And it's not a "magical" (also technical) definition forcing the religious "ensoulment" concept on everybody." Outside of the fact that we made it illegal to kill a baby human being, why does an unwanted baby human being have more value than a baby chick? In other words, why is it ethically bad to kill unwanted baby human beings? It seems like that should be the basis of argument more than a cut off day.
