Remember when people created on the internet just because they could?
Now everything has a gofundme or some other funding request attached to it. "Wow these videos are so hard to make and take a lot of my time! Can you help me by paying me?"
You know what? If it is your passion do it for free. Or just don't do it.
When the RNA strip from a sperm cell combines with the RNA from an egg cell, that is a person.
That is how I define a person, and how a person SHOULD be defined. Why? Because the moment they join a new human being begins developing. Within hours the pattern of a human has begun building the base blocks, followed by more focused blocks of cells... and so on until the baby comes to term.
The moment of conception is the creation of a new person.
Every person has the right to life. We don't get to decide whether that person should live or die, every effort should be made to protect that life which cannot fend for itself, and cannot make any decisions for itself.
The embryo is NOT part of the woman's body no matter how much abortion right advocates say that it should. That is a person. It has been genetically defined and has begun growing.
There are no arguments that can counter that.
Do they feel pain at that point? No. Does that give you the right to terminate their life?
Giving the right to abort is tantamount to saying that random people should have the right over another person's life (an innocent person by the very nature of the fact they could have done nothing to sin against God or commit a crime against another person). It is saying that "you know what, that person is a bother to me, I will kill him/her."
I am not attempting to lay guilt upon women who have already had abortions. They have been taught for many years from a young age that abortion is "OK." They had no way of knowing since so many people in society who speak so loudly and aggressively and have declared it so, that it is still wrong.
Every human being has INTRINSIC value and a BASIC RIGHT TO LIFE. Every one. No matter race, no matter how they were conceived.
Sound familiar?
It wasn't long ago when scientists found definitive proof of life on Mars. Turned out that it was natural weathering but hey...
Now we are being told that the compound phosphine was definitely found in the clouds of Venus and that the only way it could get there is from some form of life producing it.
I am not sure why we are so obsessed with trying to find life on other planets.
Anyway, turns out it is not a DEFINITE thing, the phosphine. So we are spending a bajillion dollars to send not one but TWO probes to Venus to check out that possibility.
The thing is? Even if they do find phosphine, I am willing to gamble that the crazy hot, acidic, chemical factory of an atmosphere covering Venus has some natural way of producing all kinds of crazy chemicals that could be used by life. Doesn't mean there IS life. And frankly whatever life we might find on Venus (if at all) would unlikely be something recognizable (at least not immediately) by human instrumentation since it would have evolved independently and in a completely different environment, even accounting for variation over billions of years.
