      Pregnancy is one human being growing inside another. It's tempting to pretend that one of those two human beings isn't there. But they're both there.https://twitter.com/NappNazworth/status/1073316270072827904 …

      It's a human being from conception. It's human, and it's a being. Personhood is a more complicated question.

      Nope. Those questions hinge on personhood. I wouldn't grant personhood at conception.

      A fetus is made of human tissue, anyone can agree to that. But that doesn't mean it's either a person or a being. A tissue culture is human without being a being. So what is a being and how is it distinct from a person?

      Good question, and we're not gonna settle it here. My view is that an embryo, unlike a culture, is a being (defined by organization or self-organization) but is not yet a person (defined by developed capacities). I'm just trying to describe the paradox, with no illusions.

      Replying to @saletan @ParkerMolloy

      I just wondered if you bought into a frame w/o fully examining it. “Being” is not a well-defined word in English. Granting human origin to cells with human dna is trivial, but saying ‘human being” has emotionally resonance. It’s equivalent to person in common usage.

      To say a X is a person or X is a human will sound equivalent to most speakers. If the reasoning behind why a fetus is a human being hinges on it being human (for what other animal could it be?) the work the word being is doing is left unexamined.

      Since person and human being will seem equivalent to most English speakers, this suggests that being carries with it a suggestion of sentience, thought, independent life. None of which exists in an early stage embryo. It may have human dna but it is not yet an independent being.
