In ur view is the foetus a "body part"or its own person?

Question

Pliz give a detailed explaination with clear reasons!

Answer 1

Go watch silent scream on youtube then tell me what you think...

A foetus can feel pain, it is alive, it breathes and feeds with the help of the umbilical cord. It has been proven that the foetus suffers and feels pain during the act of abortion.

So yes I feel a foetus is a person with rights.

I was a single mum that married earlier this year. I am in my twenties and I have a 6 year old that I expected in school. That little boy that blesses me life with his hugs and his love... I am so glad that I did not abort him. He was a foetus.

You were a foetus, I was one too and a foetus is life. It has potential to become a person... if it is a foetus that has died in the womb because of a natural miscarriage, its death is acceptable to me. But the act of killing a foetus is to rob it of its potential and its life... and it is murder.

To think otherwise is just to lie to yourself.

Answer 2

That depends how developed it is.

If It has a brain and can think; If it has nerves dna can feel pain; if it has a beating heart and is displaying signs of life-- yes, it is alive and it's own person. Once something can think and feel it is alive. I believe that's when the mother should go full-term...no abortions.

However, if it's just the *shape* of a body without the capabilities of thought and unable to feel anything especially pain-- it is not its own person. It cannot think or feel, adn has none of the classic signs of life. How alive is something that has no more function than any other organ of the body?

Answer 3

Definitely according to me, its a person, why because, it has a soul and body which makes a person.The soul is that life giving element part of life.

I hope this is not part of our assignment, due tommorrow.

Answer 4

It has its own, unique, genetic structure.

Answer 5

Neither...it is a fetus.  It still absorbs it's mother's nutrients, oxygen, and blood through the placenta, and can not ingest anything on its own...but this hardly qualifies it as a "body part".
