45. There is a difference
Between life and being a human being. A jar of skin cells is not a human being. A cluster of cells that one day may be a human being are not currently a human being. Its really that simple. Potential does not equal actuality. That which is not currently a human being is not a human being. Insisting that because one day it might be (pregnancies sometimes naturally fail) a human being does not make it one now. This is where your logic fails. If you put all the mixing for a cake in pan and claim it is a cake before it is baked you are only fooling yourself.
