But...it cant...turn into a rational sentient bacteria. o_O An embryo CAN though.
But you have to understand my position better. I understand that abortion will NEVER be illegal. Never. And I consider myself to be an intelligent person (I'm not egotistical, just self evaluating), and I realize that for anything to be accomplished, compromise must be had. It is impossible for both parties to get everything they want.
That is the area in which all great debaters seem to fail. As you can see from reading my argumentive essay, I said that a compromise must be had with geneticists, that their research should continue but ONLY for the use of curing diseases. I think that should please nearly everyone.
Now, for the conflict on this "pro-life" "prochoice" debate. Here is how I recommend we compromise: An abortion should ONLY be allowed before a certain point in the pregnacy. Having an abortion at 8 months is sick. They baby is thinking for itself at this point. I believe that a group of scientist and doctors should create a certain point that a pregnacy must be aborted before. After that, they mother must carry on UNLESS her life is in danger by having the baby. At that point, drastic measures must be taken.
Compromise is essential in this world.

That really didnt help your argument at all. If He knew you before your parents decided to have you, then he MOST CERTAINLY knew you before you were born.

You said you were a Christain. If you are, then arent you supposed to believe those people who said that God said those things? Faith is the center piece of Christianity.
And I dont take every world literally either. I believe that many of the stories are metaphors and symbols for something else. But that line seems to be pretty self explainatory. I cant imagine what else it could mean.
Btw, for anyone who read my essay, what do you think of Somatic Cell therapy? That is using the blank stem cells to enhance humans, like making us stronger and faster and such?
