assertions can be falsified. But they aren't arguments which can be refuted. Also gratuitous assertions can be gratuitously denied. -- By the definition you provide, a fetus is a separate organism. Its a living system, that normally at the proper stages of its development will be able to reproduce etc. There is no requirement that each individual be able to reproduce, and esp. not that it be able to reproduce at that moment, otherwise young children, and sterile people or animals would not be organisms which is ridiculous. that even the mind of the mother isn't separate from the child Not that its highly relevant but that statement isn't true. they report 'losing' part of themselves Similar statements are at times made when a spouse or post-birth child is born.
