This is what happens when you let the people who made "Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire?" run a news channel...

FNC keeps a tight reign on their reporters and talking heads because if they don't someone might screw up and actually be fair and balanced instead of 'Fair and Balanced' in their coverage.

@baigandine Do you know when cognitive capacity comes into existence? A: No. I'm sure you're correct about the clone wanting to live as much as a fetus. They both would. What relevance does an affirmative act, the commission of the abortion procedure, have to morality? But for the intentional interference on the part of whoever commits the abortion, a human life would CONTINUE, not come into existence, CONTINUE.

@JPStrikesBack What "dog in the race" does a creature without cognitive capacity really have? Why let it develop a cognitive capacity when it doesn't even "want" to? What relevance does "the normal course of things" have to morality, especially as we move into the freaky future of genetics and cloning? Would my clone want to live any less than a fetus? I doubt it.

[JPStrikesBack]

@baigandine In the normal course of events, the likelihood of your skin cell developing cognitive capacity is zero.  With a fetus, it's almost 100% certain.

[baigandine]

@JPStrikesBack It seemed you wanted to make a point about abortion too, because of the way you highlighted the word "HUMAN." My mistake if not.

[baigandine]

@JPStrikesBack Stage of cognitive development would be another scientifically objective way to draw conclusions. You don't see a lot of difference between humanity and my skin cell, if you think DNA is a good place to draw the line.

[JPStrikesBack]

@baigandine The point of the discussion thread was scientific objectivity in drawing conclusions. If you don't see a significant difference between an amoeba and a human there's nothing more to say.

[baigandine]

@JPStrikesBack The DNA of my skin cells is human. If humankind were just that, it would not be a particularly remarkable species, no more than an amoeba is.

Who needs comedy central when you´ve got fox news for laughs. :)
