That example was nothing but nonsense which did nothing to address the science which you accuse others of ignoring.
Quote:Just because you keep asking a question that doesn't mean it hasn't been answered. Human life is when the 23 chromosomes of the sperm combine with the 23 chromosomes of the egg to create 23 pair that determine everything from hair color, eye color, and sex of the being, in our case from the genus ho-mo (human).
All that does is state living human diploid cells are human life, but doesn't explain why living human diploid cells are human life and why living human haploid cells aren't life. You still have not answered the question. You're going to need to do much better.
If we take a skin scraping or a cheek swab, my skin cells and oropharyngeal epithelial cells have 23 chromosome pairs because they are diploid and I'm (arguably) human. But, dollars to donuts you will argue they aren't human life, either. Even though they meet the definition you just gave.
Quote:My turn for questions. I know, not fair:
When does this pairing of the 46 chromosomes happen?
I'm glad you asked. About 23 hours after fertilization and formation of an early zygote (Carnegie Stage 1) the nuclear membranes of the male and female pronuclei dissolve allowing the chromosomes of the haploid gametes to intermingle and align along the spingle apparatus in preparation for the first mitotic division.
Quote:When do you say a human life begins?
With the first humans. Life gets passed from one generation to the next via the living gametes which are a normal developmental stage of the human life cycle. If the gametes aren't alive then Life doesn't continue from one generation to the next. Just look at a family tree; when Life isn't passed from one generation to the next that branch on the family tree ends.
