I'll have to assume that you don't find such potential in a simple sperm or an egg, so when does such potential begin? Please explain why that potential only begins when you think it does, and why it doesn't exist before that point.
No one said anyone should act on potential alone, but it should be considered.
Am I not entitled to an opinion Spiral? I am willing to listen to what you believe.

How is more bad or good if she kills it after it becomes an embrio? Doesn't she deserve a second change because abortion is somehow more evil than condoms?
Hello Noob019,
I have already given you my opinion. A sperm or egg alone is not developing into its human form, but an embryo is. I would not make a decision for you or anyone else, I was just asking you what you think. But for me, the embryo is already a unique living human in progress, a sperm or egg alone is not.

Things are not always as they appear; it's a matter of perception.
The eyes can only see what the mind has, is, or will be prepared to comprehend.
