Abortion should be illegal.

your reference article just rearticulates what a zygote is and when the term embryo is used, it fails to prove what a human being is, which is defined in part as a living person, which, arguably, an embryo or fetus is not.

No morals are universal. For example. In the Christian bible.. ezekial 9:5-7 the people are "justified" in murdering all the women and children because God said to. Certain New Guinea tribes would, on occasion cook and eat a fellow human. It was okay for them. Morals are what we make them.

Indeed, my point exactly. Something so subjective is no basis for an argument.

If you view embryos and feti as "alive", their relationship to their mothers can only be described as parasitic. Human beings are not parasitic, as they do not live in or on another living being. Therefore embryos and feti can't be human beings.

Monkeys do it. It's called the Bruce effect. Monkeys seem pretty natural to me...

False Analogy

The trace amounts of chemicals and "toxins" in vaccines do not cause any more harm to humans than everyday living does

Since high levels of thimerosol, and thus mercury, are found in some flu vaccines, provided his cousin (or the driver) were of small enough body mass, significant effects such as partial loss of vision or even mood swings and mental disturbances may occur.

emperor Palpatine wasn't really evil

United warring factions, established a military to provide for the common defense, increased infrastructure production, began preparing for the imminent arrival of the yuuzahn gong and their living planetoid ships.

To be living, one must have life. One of the seven characteristics of life accepted by science is the capability to reproduce either sexually or asexually. Clearly neither an embryo nor a fetus is capable of meeting this criterion, nor for that matter are young children.

If you read the above arguments, then that is absolutely what that says. Human beings aren't animal parasites, young children and infants are still parasites, in this case the are obligate animal, parasites, relying on another animal host (adults) for sustenance, and commensalistic travel.

I already explained this, the definition provides that as long as enough adult humans are capable of reproducing at a rate to maintain sustainability, human adults are "alive"... To refute your point though, and I hate being "that" guy... Read my reference here...
