As I said before, read your basic bio. again, what I said was based upon science. In case you lost it.

Ironsides, I have already told you, what Westchester Institute says is of no value to me. It is a Catholic think tank, which parrots the official line propagated by Pope. Show me a paper in a refereed scientific journal, that will carry weight with me, not the Catholic propaganda as put forward by Westchester institute.
I have no idea why you keep bringing even the hint of religion or creationism into most of your debates,
Because what you are saying (that life begins at conception) is a religious view, not a scientific view.
First of all no one said anything about a fetus surviving on its own, of course it must be incubated to grow, important word grow.
But you still haven’t answered my question. What makes fetus alive, but sperm not alive in your opinion?
Because if sperm is alive, shouldn’t we show the same reverence to the sperm as you want to show to the fetus? I have asked you this question several times, but you keep skirting the issue. So let me ask it again.
If you believe that fetus is alive and must receive full protection, do you also believe that sperm is alive and should receive full protection? If not, why not?
Now, if you say fetus is not alive and sperm is not alive (for practical purposes) I can understand that. If you say that fetus deserves full protection of law because it is alive, and also sperm should receive full protection of law because it is alive, I can understand that. While that will be a ridiculous position, at least it will be consistent.
However when you say that we must protect fetus from conception as if it was a human being, but you don’t’ care if sperm lives or dies, then you are saying that simply because of your religious views, nothing else.
So let me ask you again. Do you believe that sperm is alive and should receive the same protection as the fetus? If not, why not?
