Oh yeah? Evolution isn’t real? Where in the reproductive cycle is there a dead cell? Life is a continuum from our earliest single celled ancestors to every living thing on earth today.

Starting age at birth is perfectly arbitrary. Why not start aging the individual at conception? People have a variety of beliefs about life “beginning” even if it doesn’t actually begin. Why not at conception (modern), quickening (as in the 1800s) or at birth (old testament).

How are you going to pin point the exact moment of conception for everyone?

The standard convention is two weeks from LMP. We’ll just have to accept some uncertainty in our conception day celebrations. And funerals too, because, you know, the scourge. http://www.amirrorclear.net/files/the-scourge.pdf …

No matter how you calculate age, you're still giving it parameters. Something that "I am whatever sex I say I am" doesn't. Your own ridiculous argument doesn't even stand here.

I love how everyone literally believes that i want to celebrate conception day and that I’m not very obviously joking by mentioning the scourge and funerals for failed implantations. Yall are a trip.

Just because it’s arbitrary doesn’t mean it’s bad or that I disagree with it. But, in the schema of the ontogeny of the individual, birth is an arbitrary point, it can happen prior to gestational maturity, and, in US is not the point at which a fetus gains protections.

I think the problem is you think when I call things arbitrary you think I mean bad. Not always. Here’s arbitrary and bad. In US, at 18, you are considered mature enough to buy an assault rifle, but not mature enough to rent a car. Now that’s arbitrary and stupid.

And not mature enough to buy alcoholic beverages, either. Arbitrariness: At age 18 you can join the military, but you can't buy an alcoholic drink.
