Update: thank you all for taking the time to respond. In my mind living tissue isn’t what constitutes life, but a degree of sentience. I understand how. For the record, I am a feminist. I am pro choice. I support women’s right to choose.
Hope this makes sense. The #1 argument I see from anti-abortion people is that the fetus has a heartbeat. So it is wrong to terminate. But, the heart serves as the nutrient source for pushing blood to the growth- of course it must be present first or nothing can develop. But yet - I do not see anyone mention the development of the brain as the sign of life. Brain waves and dreaming occur much later, why is this not when people believe life is beginning to happen? Why is the heart beat what is so significant, but not brain activity?
I tried googling this but found nothing. I have also tried asking both pro life and pro choice but no one has an answer ever, like I am not making sense.
Honestly, the wildest thing of all of this, is that many who argue for the heartbeat, can not accurately tell you when it is, how much of the heart is actually developed, and if at that point can most developmental delays be seen.
