<You had, a few posts back, in direct line of replies, on the same day. There is no need for me to repeat every point you make esp very recent and easily found points.>

There is when you claim:

<<By the definition you provide, a fetus is a separate organism.>>

Message 26090082

Which is either a mistake... or a lie. You're silly comment (above) leads one to think it was a lie, but I may be wrong... maybe you're just blithering and butt covering.

As for the rest, you can pretend that YOUR version is the case because your proclaim it true, but of course anyone else can that's all it is. A proclamation by Tim Fowler. yawn.

<I was using your full definition, and that's the definition that makes your point false.>

As anyone can see... you DIDNT. And therefore your claim of "false" strange at best. Again, you're either a liar or you're simply not paying attention.

You put forward this strange paraphrase...

<<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.>>

for my link:

en.wikipedia.org

<<In biology, an organism is any living system (such as animal, plant, fungus, or micro-organism). In at least some form, all organisms are capable of response to stimuli, reproduction, growth and development, and maintenance of homeostasis as a stable whole.>>

The point stands... a fertilized egg is NOT separate from the mother and "not even a separate organism".
