No, simply proving you did not know what you are talking about sufficesDing220716-#2,279 “DNA says otherwise.”
BackAgain220719-#2,428 “I don’t recall mentioning “completely viable.””
NFBW: I do not recall the US Constitution mentioning unborn. "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. I also do not believe that a zygote can apply for naturalized US citizenship on its own because it would have to pass a test, and take an oath to uphold the Constitution and it has no concept of self and cannot speak. But a zygot is a developing human life dependent on its mother. That much is scientifically true as you say. END2207191134
As I understand it and I have no expertise on it, but there are three stages In a pregnancy,
- This two-week stage is known as the germinal period of development and covers the time of fertilization (also called conception) to the implantation of the blastocyst in the uterus.
- The embryonic period of development lasts from two weeks after conception through the eighth week, during which time the organism is known as an embryo.
- At the ninth week post-conception, the fetal period begins. From this point until birth, the organism is known as a fetus.
When a Zygote Becomes an Embryo Zygotes divide through a process known as mitosis, in which each cell doubles (one cell becomes two, two becomes four, and so on). This two-week stage is known as the germinal period of development and covers the time of fertilization (also called conception) to the implantation of the blastocyst in the uterus.NFBW: so technically elektra at 8 weeks I should have referred to (it) the (organism) as a embryo in my question instead of a zygote - you are absolutely correct oh American Taliban!!!! - must I cut off a finger and mail it to you as for the sin of inferring that an embryo is a lowlife zygote?
