..."unicellular eukaryote"?
Is a fetus in early development not a life, because it is still at the beginning stage of development? Is a unicellular eukaryote considered a life more than a fetus, because it will only be a one cell organism? Which life should we consider more, the undeveloped life of a fetus or an developed life of an unicellular eukaryote?
____
Yes this is about abortion. I asked this in another forum and someone said that "Relative maturation is not a determinant of life."
That comment seemed strange, because one of the arguments for abortion is that a fetus is not a life; it has not reached it's mature level in development. A level that can only be reached once the baby (?) is outside of the womb (in extreme cases).
