At what stage is a human to you?

They're in human stages at all times, but to me they become a person when they gain consciousness. (about 5 months).

Not that a potential life, a potential person, isn't incredible and precious and can't or shouldn't be highly valued.


but yeah I am prochoice.

I agree with the people talking about personhood, although I don't know when exactly that happens and whether we can really tell.
If I were you I'd also add "when the blastocyst gets implanted in the womb". Tbh idk why people never think of it when they want to define the beginning of life.

After he/she has her/his first "fight" on SW.
For me, it's when a baby takes its first breath.

But if the baby is born within easy reach of a humidicrib,
it's the age at which he or she can survive a premature birth.

@hartfire I was beginning to think I might be the only one who thought this way.

@JAYS21 True, but at any level, I don't see any animal as less than a human.
That might not make sense it terms of the question.

If it's merely what determines the species "human" - then any fragment containing human DNA code is human, whether a single gamete or a scrap of torn off skin.

If it's a whole human being - then I would still stand by my first answer - simply because they cannot breathe. It's the first most basic capacity for an independent life, the least possible necessity without which the parents cannot care for him or her.

I became a human when I chose the username "KaiTheHuman". 🤔

But seriously, a human is a human at all stages. The question is more one of personhood. Anyone trying to claim a fetus or a zygote isn't human is just being dumb. It's not going to grow into any other animal. 🤷‍♂️
@SW-User
It's not going to grow into any other animal
Why did I laugh so hard at this? 😂

At conception it becomes a living organism, a life. Someones life. It takes on physical characteristics of a human a month or two later.

@SW-User Spray it with Raid.

@SW-User how about I spray your face. You deserve it more.

@SW-User You should have been aborted.

For Hillary Clinton it's not until you bring the baby home from the hospital

@HoraceGreenley For Hillary Clinton it's not until the baby registers as a Democrat.

The second stage is around age 18-20 the first fuck that takes your breath away and makes your nipples erect for two weeks.

@sally1981 18 to 20 sounds a bit old fashioned these days from what I hear from the kids.

when @Straylight allows them to be humans

@empanadas They will bend to my will. With or without their precious sanity.
