How about the scientific fact that a single cell organism found on Mars would be considered life but a 8 month old fetus is not?

Guess it's OK to retreat from "Facts & Science" when it fits the narrative.


This is such an absolute devastatingly stupid argument to put forth........... I'm sorry my friends it just is.

Life is a characteristic that distinguishes physical entities that have biological processes, such as signaling and self-sustaining processes, from those that do not, either because such functions have ceased (they have died), or because they never had such functions and are classified as inanimate. Various forms of life exist, such as plants, animals, fungi, protists, archaea, and bacteria. The criteria can at times be ambiguous and may or may not define viruses, viroids, or potential synthetic life as "living". Biology is the science concerned with the study of life.

There is currently no consensus regarding the definition of life. One popular definition is that organisms are open systems that maintain homeostasis, are composed of cells, have a life cycle, undergo metabolism, can grow, adapt to their environment, respond to stimuli, reproduce and evolve. However, several other definitions have been proposed, and there are some borderline cases of life, such as viruses or viroids.





DO ANY OF YOU HAVE THE COURAGE to go against your pack and say. You know. Mach has a point.

I am giving you irrefutable evidence that at the very least Badger's comment was on shaking ground. It's not bedrock.

When is a person legally dead? Seems to me the same deciding factor would consider a person legally alive as well.

What about cryogenics? You can’t answer for that either. At the end. Don’t judge.. that simple
