Izzy, you haven't explained, from the Bible, what a human being is and when they start.
Until proven otherwise, I’ll go with the “from my mother’s womb” part. Psalm 13913
For you created my inmost being;
You have clearly identified the continuum problem. Why should we stop at birth? Biologists/Psychologists have argued that human children are born 9 months too early and "personhood" might start there. Others say that 2 years is about right because that is when cognitive memory has developed.
By the way, a Roman paterfamilias (Head male) had the right of life and death over his children until they became adults.
I think we have enough folks murdering their children already.
The continuum problem is a reason why, as a way of defining when a human person appears, I choose Bible models rather than science. Then you’d think we’d agree! J
Here's a picture. _____ / \ [ o o ] | ^ | \ = /
Ummm, maybe a teensy bit of Aardvark there….
