@kingdavid403 saidNo, not "if". The gender of a fertilized egg is already determined.
If "it" becomes a pregnancy.
@fmf saidIt does not have a gender until a pregnancy.
No, not "if". The gender of a fertilized egg is already determined.
@kingdavid403 saidWell here is a fact: I believe life begins at conception. You can call my belief a "lie" till you go blue in the face.
Truth and Fact don't have an opinion or belief. They are.
@fmf saidlol.. you're the one clearly going blue in your face; when people lie that tends to happen.

@kingdavid403 saidIts gender is determined when the egg is fertilized. That gender is the first characteristic determined in the process toward personhood that has been initiated by conception.
It does not have a gender until a pregnancy.
@kingdavid403 saidI am not "lying" about anything.
lol.. you're the one clearly going blue in your face; when people lie that tends to happen.
@kingdavid403 saidBecause the question is: when does life begin?
Ditto. So why are you speaking then?
@fmf saidThen why are thousands of babies born every year with both sex organs?

This human biology perspective more or less coincides with my belief:
"The development of a human being begins with fertilization, a process by which two highly specialized cells, the spermatozoon from the male and the oocyte from the female, unite to give rise to a new organism, the zygote."
from the journal Medical Embryology.
@kingdavid403 saidIn so far as it happens rarely compared to what happens in 98% of cases, it is an anomaly. The lives of intersex humans begin at conception
Then why are thousands of babies born every year with both sex organs?

@fmf said""The development of a human being begins with fertilization,"

"The development of a human being begins with fertilization, a process by which two highly specialized cells, the spermatozoon from the male and the oocyte from the female, unite to give rise to a new organism, the zygote."

And, this is the lie. It begins with a pregnancy.
Again, why are there thousands of babies born every year with both sex organs, if sex is determined at fertilization of the egg?
@kingdavid403 saidYou can believe what you want. Just because your belief is different to mine does not make either of them a "lie".
""The development of a human being begins with fertilization,"
And, this is the lie. It begins with a pregnancy.
@kingdavid403 saidYou ended the quoted text mid-sentence - with a comma indeed - which might seem to some to be rather a low-integrity thing to do. Here is the quote - the whole sentece - again:
""The development of a human being begins with fertilization,"
"The development of a human being begins with fertilization, a process by which two highly specialized cells, the spermatozoon from the male and the oocyte from the female, unite to give rise to a new organism, the zygote."

And, This statement "The development of a human being begins with fertilization," is a lie. It begins with a pregnancy.
@kingdavid403 saidRead the whole sentence. Don't stop at a comma.
This statement "The development of a human being begins with fertilization," is a lie. It begins with a pregnancy.
