Pero ninguno de estos estadios nos definen el momento en que tenemos "vida humana", porque las definiciones son, por definición, valga la redundancia, arbitrarias.

Y es que, encima, no definimos ni siquiera lo que es humano, cuándo empiza a ser "persona" este "contínuo". Humano claro que lo es, como lo es este cabello que veo encima de mi teclado....

 Saludos, Toni_____ P.S.: Después de escribir lo que precede me he dado una vuelta por la red y he encontrado, con sensación agridulce, el párrafo abajo adjunto procedente de www.religioustolerance.org. Digo agridulce, porque si de un lado constato con satisfacción que mi razonamiento es compartido casi al 100%, de otro me quedo con la sensación de haber perdido el tiempo en averiguar lo que ya sabía, por insuficiente "self-confidence" ;-).

The philosophical and religious principle behind the pro-choice/pro-life argument is: when does life (in the form of an ovum and sperm) become human life?. After that event occurs, terminating life is a form of murder which many people believe can only be justified to prevent the death of the mother, prevent extremely serious injury to the mother, or in cases of rape or incest.

Science can tell us, with increasing detail, the processes that start with a sperm and ovum and end up with a newborn baby. But it cannot tell us: -- does the fetus have a soul?
-- when do the products of conception become a human being?
-- does a zygote have a full set of human rights?
-- when does personhood develop?
-- is abortion murder? These are questions with philosophical, religious and political aspects. Science cannot contribute a great deal towards resolving them. And because they have a religious component, there will always be a wide variety of beliefs among persons in different faith groups. Resaludos.
