Well. It is likely impossible for you to understand my formulation, since you tend toward broad and arbitrary conceptualizations of human identity. That certainly does not necessarily mean the formulation is flawed (it is not). The formulation depends on an elimination of arbitrariness, a thing you (and most people) seem yet unable to do. Indeed it seems you don't understand why you must remove arbitrariness at all, and yet you are willing to pass law that removes human rights as if the basis of your doing so is objectively etched in nature. It is a terribly disintegrated way of being - but it is typical. The mushy idea of a "non-existing but existing human" that so frequently fills our minds when we think of ourselves is no rational basis for forcing law. What we must first accept is that there is an objective point where every human first appears in nature as a biological entity and that before that point, human nature does not exist. That is most reasonable and determinable and it allows one to see human character in its natural essence, without the higher human biological expressions that commonly confuse us as "basic humanity". When you can understand the essential biological character of humans at the point where they first appear (the natural philosophy upon which this biological character is predicated), then it will be possible for you to understand my formulation and you will also see that it is by no means arbitrary. Until that occurs, further discussion of my particular views here with you will necessarily be unproductive.
