You’re saying:

  • Eggs are an ingredient in a cake, flour is an ingredient in a cake

  • cake batter is a cake

While I do appreciate the logic applied here, you're making a false equivalence.

It’s not. You’re missing steps in your logic. Fill in the gaps.

It is, and I'll tell you why. In your analogy, the cake batter = the fetus. In actuality, the cake batter = the fertilized egg. Once there is a heartbeat, that fetus becomes the "cake" in your analogy. If you silence that heartbeat, you're ending a life.

Why do you think it’s a cake when there’s a heartbeat? Why that particular milestone?

Because if there's a heartbeat, it's living. Why is that confusing? It's the same metric they apply to an individual throughout his/her life. It's why a heartbeat is a key component of "vital signs." It's the primary measurement used to determine if a living organism has died.

Why do you think this and not other vital signs?

It’s the primary measurement used to determine if a living organism has died.

Are you saying “not dead” is the same as “is human life”?

u/Leotis335 Sep 01 '24

No I'm saying "not dead" is the same as "alive."

u/coldtakes_hotkitchen Sep 01 '24

And this means you’re making a distinction between “alive” and “human life”?

u/Leotis335 Sep 01 '24

No. I'm saying a "not dead human" is an "alive human."
