You can't get to the zygote without the sperm. You don't GET a potential zygote unless you start with these other potentials. And once you get the zygote you still need salt, pepper, yeast, heat, and 5,248 enzymes, vitamins, minerals, and some green tea.
YOU DON'T PULL THE ZYGOTE OUT OF A HAT! Something has to have the potential to be a zygote or you don't get a zygote! That is why the Catholic Church taught people how to pull out!
The difference between a dolphin zygote and a human one is that one will live in the sea.
"A fertilized egg already is a human"
A fertilized egg is an EGG. IT IS NOT A FERTILIZED DOLPHIN OR HUMAN. IT IS AN EGG...JUST AS YOU SAID. If you combine it with 5,248 ingredients it may someday have a meaningful existence with ends and values that must be acknowledged.
Eggs are not sentient. They are as much humans as they are dolphins or trees or rocks or roosters. They are insensate matter like all other insensate matter.
"Stardust can be changed and combined so that it has the potential, but it doesn't already have the potential within itself."
If it didn't have the potential then we could simply ignore it and pull a zygote out of a hat. But even a hat starts with material that has the potential to become a hat. If there is no potential to create a zygote then there in no zygote.
And we don't give a zygote the right to drive just because it has potential. We don't give eggs and rocks RIGHTS. That is too too stupid. You should be able to GET THIS CONCEPT if you would give a SINCERE EFFORT--HUH???? RIGHTS are not attached to possible entities but to ACTUAL ones. As I said, every human being is potential ashes and dust. But to treat a sentient child as a piece of dirt (just because of what it WILL one day become) seems stupid and inhuman to me. So don't treat a zygote like stardust and don't treat it like ashes. Treat it like an EGG. And if you end up with a dolphin, buy a boat.
Again...just because an egg is POTENTIALLY (and inevitably) DIRT does not mean you must treat it like dirt. Treat it like an egg. |
