5) science by itself cannot define the boundaries of what is "human". you can appeal to it to set boundaries, but the boundaries are ultimately not scientific.

6) rejecting abortion based on our status as homo sapiens is arbitrary.

7) rejecting abortion based on our status as "human" is unfounded, because an embryo or a fetus is not "human".
1.) Don't like my spelling ability? Than spell the words for me, or shut the fuck up.

2.) And where was my usage incorrect? Please be so kind as to point that at?

3.) Humanity is stupid for ascribing feelings to themselves. And if you would like reread what I said. It was a different type of feelings, that I was ascribing.

4.) Of course choice is an illusion. I am a determinist. But it is easier to utilize the word choice when arguing with those who are not.

5.) Science can define that which is Homo sapien sapien. And that which is H. sapien is human by definition.

6.) It is dismissed based upon our status as H. sapiens. It is dismissed based upon the belief that human beings have inherent rights. One of which is a right to life.

7.) In what way is it not "human"? No one has showed me they aren't "human" yet.
