When a man's sperm and a woman's egg combine and their DNA combine to form another set of independent DNA and?

the blueprint is put in place for the development of another person throughout their life until death. Since everything is now there at conception that makes the embryo a living human being since everything exists for their entire life. Abortion cuts off that life. How can you think otherwise? That is why God said that he knows even the embryo of us and all our parts are down in writing. That would make abortion murder, don't you think?

Update:

A tumor is a clump of flesh but does not contain the DNA blueprint to form a human being throughtout their entire life until death nor is it that way for a parasite.

Update 2:

Nate, read Psalms 139:14-16

Update 3:

OK, let's clarify something for those of you who seem ignorant of the facts. Adam was created from the dust of the earth, he did not develope inside a mother's womb. God needed to blow breath into him to become a living soul. On the other hand, a baby developing inside it's mother's womb is breating by means of the blood that circulates between mother and child. The baby is breathing, our bodies must have oxygen and the baby receives it's oxygen through it's mother.

Update 4:

And don't play ignorant, yes a person can draw a blueprint and never build but the blueprint contained in DNA for the building of a human being is alive not a two dimensional drawing on paper.

Update 5:

If you understood God's word you would realize that the soul IS the person and that is determined by the DNA of that person, the DNA is contained in the embryo.

Update 6:

I guess many people believe the saying, I brought you into this life, I can take you out.

Update 7:

God says that life comes from the man, since that is the case, should the man have the choice according to you?

    Dude, I absolutely agree with you, but most or a lot of folks don't see it that way.

    No.

    Murder is defined as the "killing of another human being." The law does not recognize a fetus as human until it has a chance to survive as an INDEPENDENT being. That occurs at quickening... about month 7..... A human is defined as a primate of the species homo sapiens.

    A fetus is best defined medically prior to quickening, as a parasite, It too has its own DNA, and blueprint.

    God isn't involved, one way or the other, sorry.)

    As a medical problem: Figure these out:

    1. Medicine can now make a totally independent human being, a person from any normal skin cell of your body. If you remove a tumor, and take some normal skin cells along with that tumor, have you committed murder, or performed an abortion?

    2. Fertilized ova, not used in fertility clinics are thrown away. By doing so, have those people committed abortion.... murder???

    When you come up with an answer to these two, Let the American Medical Association know.

    PS The US is a country of laws, not of religions. The founding fathers created this country to be free of religions.... to be free from ALL of them, even yours, even mine.

    PPS Murder IS legal in certain situations. This country still has states that use capital punishment. And as well, in war, you, as a soldier, are murdering other fully formed humans.

    Source(s): My father is a physician. And your ideas about carrying an unplanned pregnancy might be different if it were YOU who were having the unwanted pregnancy, and the lady bailed on YOU, leaving YOU with the responsibility of ponying up the $250,000 it takes to raise a child, and the 2 decades of your life. If you are now 16, you'd be out from under at 36---- pushing middle age with a short stick. Ever thought of it in those terms? Few guys ever do. It's fine to push this onto some girl, but few guys want it for themselves.. That's why when they are under 20, and get some girl preggo, less than 2% are there 18 months after the child is there. Hmmmmm.

    >Since everything is now there at conception that makes the embryo a living human being since everything exists for their entire life.

    Ahem. All the DNA that supports your body can also be found in a single cell taken from the sole of your foot. Does that make that single cell a living human being? Hell no. You are trying to equate two things (genetic code on the one hand, human life on the other) which are just plain not equivalent. This is not a valid argumentation technique. Please avoid using invalid arguments in the future, it only makes you look silly and wastes other people's time.

    >Abortion cuts off that life.

    According to your criteria, so does scratching the sole of your foot. So to be consistent, I recommend you either stop scratching your foot, or any other part of your skin, permanently, or else abandon your ridiculous and invalid argument against freedom of abortion.

    >A tumor is a clump of flesh but does not contain the DNA blueprint to form a human being throughtout their entire life until death

    That would depend on the type of cancer, I guess. It is true that the genetic code of a cancer cell is not the same as the genetic code of a normal human cell (that's what makes it cancer), but that doesn't mean that all the necessary DNA information to produce a new human isn't still in there if you could remove whatever part is causing the cell to function improperly and grow out of control.

    Dude, God bless you for speaking the truth and against this law-approved murder of innocent children.

    Jesus told us that only a few will ever find the straight narrow way which leads to life. The rest are dead in trespasses and sins and have no conscious.

    We see here that the majority of people approve of murder, if the person is too small to defend themselves.

    The also think that they are equal with God. The fail to realize that God created everything and He is the owner and He has the right to kill and destroy what he created, if it becomes defective and dangerous to his other creatures. None of you have that right.

    He did just that at the flood. And He will do it again some day. How could a merciful God allow this wicked generation of God-haters, baby killers to continue?

    When a society has no feeling or care for helpless babies, it is not fit to live. Murder of helpless babies is wrong, regardless of what any law of man says. Man does not have the power to decide what is right or wrong. He may set up his own laws, but God will not judge the world by man's laws.

    So they will pass laws confiscating your property. They will pass laws taking you into slavery... putting you into state farms to work for the state. They will pass laws requiring you to give 90% of what you earn to the government.

    Do not cry about it. It will all be legal.

    It will become legal to kill you if you do not everything to suit the government or if you are sick. Do not worry about it. It will be legal. The king sent his soldiers out to slaughter all the boys two years and under. It was not a sin. It was not murder. The king could do as he pleased. He was the law. another king made it a law that everyone who prayed to anyone but him, would be exterminated. it was legal. cause he said so.

    Man does not make the laws. God does not recognize man-made laws. You will all answer to GOD'S LAWS someday, rather you like it or not.

    Your Scripture should have been the verse above it : Psalm 139:13, For thou hast possessed my reins. Thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.

    God had all those babies covered. Yet man grabs them up and cuts them to pieces, salts them to death, burning them to death, or takes scissors and stabs that little baby in the head, slices it open, then with a powerful instrument, actually sucks that little babies brain right out of its head.

    And you people approve of that horror? God help you. Yes that doctor deserved to have a slow horrible death. But he will get his in hell fire. And all of you who approve such horrible doings will also, unless you can find a place of repentance, which I doubt.

    Fine I'll play

    So now abortion is murder and thru an act of God laws are passed that say that the intentional destruction of any fertilized group of human cells is murder and that all appropriate penalties apply

    What happens next ?

    What happens is that the minute details of every single woman's reproductive cycles are a matter of legal concern

    The women in that bizarro scenario just surrendered the right to the privacy of their own bodies to State

    Think :

    A woman has a heavy period ;How does the State know that the cause of the heavy bleeding is innocent act of God or a malicious act of Man

    It doesn't so the woman is legally obligated to go to a hospital , get a pelvic exam performed by a doctor w/a homicide detective looking over the MD's shoulder to make sure that the MD doesn't fake the info to protect the woman from prosecution

    The doctor of course would jeopardize their career by doing the above act of kindness and justice

    Furthermore the woman having the heavy period will not be able to tell her family , friends , or spouse about her heavy period w/o them being legally obligated to tell the cops or risk criminal prosecution themselves for not reporting a felony

    The permutations go on from there

    Are you still sure that you want to make abortion murder ?

  • You are absolutely, 100% correct!!

    Abortion is murder....it doesn't matter if you abort a fetus at 4 weeks or if you murdered the baby after it was born. It is still murder! No matter what way you look at it.

    Abortion should not even be considered under any law. Abortion ends the life of a helpless little baby. And, it is extremely unfortunate that some women say they have the "right" to kill their child. I would love to just take a woman who has had an abortion and just slap her across her face. That wouldn't even be enough for the woman. She should be put in prison for the rest of her life for murdering an innocent life!

    We are not 100% positive that an aborted baby goes to Heaven. Since the irresponsible "mother" chooses to murder her innocent child, that little baby has never been taught about Jesus....

    Every human (including baby in the mother's womb) has a purpose. God has given us all a purpose. God gives us choices in our lives. He expects us to do good. Abortion is not a good thing....no matter what way you look at it. If you truly believe in God, then you would never even consider an abortion. Life begins at conception.

    And, as far as rape or incest....it still is not the baby's fault. That child should still have a chance and should have every right to live. The law should protect unborn babies too. What about their rights? Do any of you women ever think of the rights of their unborn baby? You probably don't because you're too selfish to think of anyone else but yourself.

    You all should "google" the name Gianna Jesson. She is truly an inspirational woman.

    YOU GET IT! Hallelujah. Our DNA is human DNA from conception- not a potential to become human DNA. Unfortunately this form of murder has become a choice, and it never should have been. God knows us long before we were even created. Every baby that is conceived, is conceived because God ordained his/her life. God never creates something that is to be destroyed by the person He entrusted that child to grow within. Not fully developed does not mean NO LIFE- amen to this question. Keep standing up for God's truth!!

    Murder is the illegal taking of a human life, since abortion is not illegal then it is not murder.

    You lost me when you said, "God said..." The laws should not force others to adhere to your religious beliefs. Society can determine that killing someone else should be illegal under certain circumstances but that should not have anything to do with God.

    Society as a whole has not made the determination that abortion should be illegal, that is why there are pro-choice groups, because they disagree. The supreme court has ruled that government shouldn't interfere with a women's right to choice, so it is clear that society disagrees with your religious beliefs.

    No on is going to force a women to have an abortion if she wants to carry a baby to term because of her religious beliefs and no one should force another women to have the baby if she doesn't share those same beliefs.

    And no one has the right to murder a doctor for performing a legal act.

    I'd point out to you that if your god thought fetuses were living innocent human beings--he'd not have drowned the pregnant women during the great flood or exhorted his soldiers to carve the fetuses from the wombs of the conquered women. Sorry--religon as a reason against abortion is an epic fail by it's own dogma.

    Some time after this guy:

    "Your Honour, my client is not guilty of manslaughter because we can conclusively prove that he actually dropped the test tube moments _before_ he added the sperm to the egg in the test tube, and we have witnesses..."

  • 1 decade ago

    Until that clump of cells has a functioning brain, it's just a clump of cells, DNA or no DNA

    Besides, doesn't that aborted fetus go directly to Heaven? So what ate you whining about? If I were a fetus set for Heaven and you stopped the abortion, I'd be pissed
