Stopping the selection process de facto stops development.It doesn't "stop" it. It prevents it from occurring.
You're hair-splitting.
A law against human cloning, stops law abiding laboratories from cloning humans.
In the same way, if I sterilize you, then I am de facto killing your unborn children.You can't kill children who haven't been conceived. You can only put an end to the prospect. The prospect of children is not the same as children.
De facto. If I invade a country and sterilize the population, that is de facto genocide.
What is your suggestion?It's already in the part you quoted.
Great, zero clarification.
Then the description of the genome needs expansion to include that which constitutes one's person.
How would you do this? Redefine "individual human" as 99.99999999999% matching DNA? Are you aware of human chimeras? There are cases when a twin is reabsorbed in the womb and that person, who appears to be an "individual" actually has complete organs within their body that have distinct genomes of their absorbed siblings.
In one of these cases, a woman's womb did not match her standard DNA swab and this resulted in her children being forcibly removed.
Genetic coding contains errors. Every time you copy 725 megabytes of data, single bit errors are prone to occur. Also, environmental toxins and cosmic radiation can cause errors (mutations) in a human's genetic code.Are the distinctions a result of a dissimilar code or dissimilar expression?
I explicitly said code.

So by the law of excluded middle, DNA determines Rights (at least in your proposal).Define commensurate; and define determine.
I'll accept your definitions.
I don't think either of these terms are currently in dispute.

The fact that a blastocyst/zygote/embryo/fetus is 99.99999% biomass of the mother does not change in either scenario.We weren't talking about biomass. If that's what you meant, then that's another matter.
I am talking about biomass and I said biomass the first time I mentioned it.

I don't see how the statement "all human life is precious" contradicts the death penalty.
The qualifier "all human life" necessarily includes convicts.
Those who are on death row (usually) have committed horrendous crimes typically involving homicides.
This is an irrelevant RED-HERRING (moot). The qualifier "all human life" necessarily includes convicts.
In order to create a deterrent, they take away what's most precious: life. It doesn't undermine it at all.
#1 it isn't a deterrent. #2 destroying life doesn't prove it's precious. #3 it does undermine the axiom "all human life is precious".
This is another irrelevant RED-HERRING (moot). The qualifier "all human life" necessarily includes convicts.
In fact, it informs it. If the motto instead were, "no life should be ended," then you'd have a point, assuming they sustain both a pro-life and pro-death penalty position.
Isn't the statement "all human life is precious" functionally identical to "no human life should be ended"?
OTHERWISE, HOW DOES IT INFORM ABORTION?
The deportation point doesn't make sense (it's not that their lives aren't precious, it's that they want to submit them to the same legal paradigm in which they are subject.)
THIS IS THE EXACT SAME SCENARIO YOU OBJECTED TO REGARDING PARENTS ABANDONING THEIR CHILDREN.
BY DEPORTING (abandoning) HUMAN LIFE INTO LIFE THREATENING SITUATIONS, YOU ARE NOT PROTECTING THEIR PRECIOUS HUMAN LIVES.
You don't know that they don't help the homeless,
If they cared about the homeless half as much as they care about zygotes, then there would be no homeless people.
...and military is seen as a means of defense.
Please explain how bombing the middle-east "saves precious human lives".

Then the description of the genome needs expansion to include that which constitutes one's person.
What is your suggestion?
And do sperm cells, egg cells, tumors have different genetic coding or different genetic expressions?
Genetic coding contains errors. Every time you copy 725 megabytes of data, single bit errors are prone to occur. Also, environmental toxins and cosmic radiation can cause errors (mutations) in a human's genetic code.
And once again, it's not about "deserving rights"; it's creating a distinction between the zygote and its mother. If we were to consider your statements earlier, then your claiming that the blastocyst is 99% its mother is completely meaningless.
The fact that a blastocyst/zygote/embryo/fetus is 99.99999% biomass of the mother does not change in either scenario.

Stopping the selection process de facto stops development.No one's arguing against the necessity of a selected egg and sperm. But that doesn't mean that the development starts when they are selected. You should already know that this is tautological.
Therefore it is an integral part of the development process.
In the same way, if I sterilize you, then I am de facto killing your unborn children.

If DNA is your primary guiding light, then all mammals should be protected with 97% of the fervor that humans deserve.DNA makes it its own person. I never said that Rights were commensurate to DNA content. My mention of the genome was in response to your statement that zygote/embryo/fetus was akin to sperm cells, and the like, where the former has its own genome, and the latter is an extension of another.
A child's genome is an extension of another.
(IFF) DNA determines if a being is "its own person" personhood is determined by DNA (AND) legal (or moral or axiomatic) Rights are determined by personhood (THEN) DNA determines Rights.
So by the law of excluded middle, DNA determines Rights (at least in your proposal).

...development doesn't start until the egg is fertilized by the sperm.
Development of the blastocyst begins when a sperm and egg are selected for fertilization.
Genetic selection is pre-requisite and therefore integral and inseparable from the "development-process".
Without a selection process, there can be no blastocyst.
Without a bee, there can be no pollination.
Without pollination, there can be no viable seed.
Without a viable seed, there can be no sprout.
Your "start-point" appears to be arbitrary.

What about twins and clones? Their genome isn't distinct.
Twins and clones may have variations (errors) in their genetic coding.
But the same it true for all cells in your body.
Not all sperm have identical genetic coding.
Not all eggs have identical genetic coding.
Tumors also contain genetic variations (errors).
How much variation constitutes a "distinct-genetic-organism" in your opinion?
Do all "distinct-genetic-organisms" deserve equal rights?

#1 the "first-phase-of-human-development" seems to be ignoring the prerequisites (sperm and egg and healthy parents and copulation opportunity).And given that the zygote marks the first phase of human development, they're "claims" that they are more like newborn babies is more consistent than claims they are not.
#2 the blastocyst and zygote and fetus development stages are virtually identical to that of monkeys and mice.
If DNA is your primary guiding light, then all mammals should be protected with 97% of the fervor that humans deserve.
The key hypocrisy of "pro-lifers" is when they say "all human life is precious" but then they support the death penalty, they support deporting humans into life threatening situations, they do nothing to protect vulnerable homeless people and they are very often gung-ho supporters of military action which by its very definition does not support the axiom "all human life is precious".

But not legal accountability?Where did you get that?
Directly below. You seem to be bouncing back and forth between legality and some sort of intrinsic "moral responsibility".

How would any public entity know of her miscarriage without the medical examination in the first place?
By making copulation reporting mandatory.
In the exact same way making-a-human-clone is illegal, making-an-unregistered-human-non-clone would also be illegal.
No birth-certificate could be issued without a corresponding copulation report registered at the appropriate time.
If an unregistered copulation results in a pregnancy, then appropriate fines and or other punishments and or sanctions would be levied.

ALL MISCARRIAGES SHOULD BE TREATED AS POTENTIAL MURDER/MANSLAUGHTER CASES, AND ALL HUMAN PRIVACY SHOULD BE ERADICATED,Not all deaths have cases made out of them. If there's no cause for suspicion, usually determined by an initial medical examination, then the prospect of a case is scrapped. If she forgoes this examination then there's nothing the pro-lifers can do. (Not that I would suggest they do anything to begin with.)
Then there should be a medical examination (investigation) of every miscarriage to determine if there is cause for suspicion.
It should be treated exactly like if a child dies in someone's private residence.
Did that child die of natural causes? Was that child's death preventable?
Personal privacy goes completely out the window. Refusing to be examined would be considered obstruction of justice.

THE STATE SHOULD BE NOTIFIED EVERY TIME TWO PEOPLE COPULATE IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THE POSSIBLY RESULTING EMBRYO IS NOT MALNOURISHED OR MISTREATED OR INTENTIONALLY OR UNINTENTIONALLY KILLED, THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE STATE DOES NOT END AT BIRTH AND ALL HOMES SHOULD BE MONITORED BY CAMERAS AND MICROPHONES IN ORDER TO DETECT CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT.Now, you're delving into de facto measures rather than de jure measures which merely ascribe accountability.
Pick one and stick to it.
Most of the pro-choicers claim god told them not to kill teeny-tiny fish-like cell masses because they are the same as newborn babies.
So it follows logically that if god told them not to kill teeny-tiny fish-like cell masses, then every time a teeny-tiny fish-like cell mass dies from either intentional or unintentional action or negligence it is a crime against god.
This logically includes teeny-tiny fish-like cell masses in test tubes and cryogenic storage AND teeny-tiny fish-like cell masses that die because of alcohol poisoning and or malnutrition and or stress and or trauma and this logically includes all of the teeny-tiny fish-like cell masses everywhere across the globe.
And this policy also necessarily violates personal privacy.
Because if we are going to prevent every teeny-tiny fish-like cell mass from dying, we need to register them as citizens. Every single one.

Are you kidding me?Subjective can be easily described by thinking of it as a contraction of "subject" and "perspective." "Subject's perspective." While the tautology of supposing the subject's subjectivity is ontologically subjective (a priori) it does not exclude the epistemological foundation on which it is contingent.
The only way to avoid the "subject's perspective" is for you to not be a subject with a perspective.
Perspective = point of view = sample-bias.
The only way for you to not have a "subject's perspective" would be for you to know all things and see all things with 100% equal clarity.

WTF.This presumes the existence of metaphysical reality (noumenon,) one which you'd have to substantiate before incorporating it as fundamental to the description of subjective.
NOUMENON = THE UNKNOWN

So you're conflating my desire with my method?
No.
They are intrinsically linked, not necessarily "the same thing".
I'm pointing out that your desire is prerequisite to your method.
Your method means nothing and can never happen without your prerequisite desire.
Your desire is biased, shaped by your personal feelings and whims.
This bias contaminates your method.
Desire is like the battery of a robot.
Without desire (a battery) then the robot (your method) is dead (moot).

I know. But we're obviously not discussing de facto impediments, but de jure impediments. A woman can abandon a baby in a dumpster in Atlanta, but if she were to successfully relocate to North Korea, she could practically escape the legal responsibility to her infant without issue. The point is she has a responsibility to her infant dictated by the descriptions of the State. If she were truly her own sovereign territory, she would not have to abide by State dictates and she could abandon an infant much in the same way she can abandon her fetus.This is the reason I continue to argue that the pro-life arguments generally are more consistent than those of the pro-choice. The pro-life position argues this responsibility persists from conception to mid or late adolescence (though, I don't deny that cut-off is arbitrary as well.) The pro-choice position however arguse that there's no responsibility (zygote/embryo/fetus) then responsibility (infant-->late adolescence) then back to no responsibility (late adolescent-->adulthood.) The main difference is the pro-life argument is a function of dependence. The pro-choice, however, is one neither of dependence, nor of "gyno-sovereignty." It's an inconsistent argument. The only way to reconcile is to completely remove the obligation a parent bears its child, regardless of its age.
Ok, thanks for that.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, PRO-LIFE = RESPONSIBLE AT CONCEPTION + NOT RESPONSIBLE UNTIL IMPLANTATION + RESPONSIBLE DURING GESTATION + RESPONSIBLE (CITIZENSHIP) AFTER BIRTH + ARBITRARY DEADLINE OF 18 YEARS.
And, PRO-CHOICE = NOT RESPONSIBLE AT CONCEPTION + NOT RESPONSIBLE DURING GESTATION + RESPONSIBILITY (CITIZENSHIP) BEGINS AT BIRTH + ARBITRARY DEADLINE OF 18 YEARS.
IN THIS PARTICULAR LIGHT THEY ARE EQUALLY COHERENT. THEY BOTH HAVE ARBITRARY START AND ARBITRARY END DATES.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FOR PRO-LIFE TO BE TRULY COHERENT, ALL EMBRYOS FOR IN-VITRO SHOULD ALSO BE CONSIDERED CITIZENS AND IMPLANTED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, ALL MISCARRIAGES SHOULD BE TREATED AS POTENTIAL MURDER/MANSLAUGHTER CASES, AND ALL HUMAN PRIVACY SHOULD BE ERADICATED, THE STATE SHOULD BE NOTIFIED EVERY TIME TWO PEOPLE COPULATE IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THE POSSIBLY RESULTING EMBRYO IS NOT MALNOURISHED OR MISTREATED OR INTENTIONALLY OR UNINTENTIONALLY KILLED, THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE STATE DOES NOT END AT BIRTH AND ALL HOMES SHOULD BE MONITORED BY CAMERAS AND MICROPHONES IN ORDER TO DETECT CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT.

> Hogan: Right, it's not. What the democrats have done is run a sham impeachment process, all behind closed doors, without any sunlight whatsoever, selectively leaking pieces of information without full testimony, to try and build a narrative moving into the second round. The vote yesterday did nothing except say we're going to make portions of the next part public after we've already tried to tie your hands, bound your feet, bind-folded you put you in a closet and beat you senseless, then we're just gonna take the blindfold off for round 2. Round 3 is when we're gonna take you in front of the judiciary committee, and we expect though that you're gonna be bloodied up enough that it won't matter.

Steve VS Hogan
starting at 38 seconds
ending at 5 minutes 25 seconds
> Steve: Does the house process make the impeachment process any more fair?
LOGIC: #1 asking about "fairness" is OPINION NOT FACT (CRITICAL ERROR, FLAG ON THE PLAY, BUG IDENTIFIED). #2 It is the same process the republicans used to impeach Clinton so it stands to reason that (IFF) it was fair enough for Clinton (THEN) it must also be fair enough for Trump. It would be categorically UNFAIR to use a different process.
> Hogan: 2 things, 1st thing, I dispute your premise, Trump was primarily concerned about Ukrainian Government Corruption. Ukraine was rife with corruption.
LOGIC: ABSOLUTELY 100% DODGES THE QUESTION (ABOUT FAIRNESS). You can dispute a premise, but you then need to explain exactly what you think that premise is and your REASONS for disputing it. Simply saying "i dispute the premise" is not CARTE BLANCHE to just ignore the interviewer and start SPOUTING YOUR TALKING-POINTS.
> Steve: Just to be perfectly clear, you said the premise was incorrect? I've carefully reviewed the transcript, and the president asks about a couple of specific things. #1 a conspiracy theory involving crowdstrike and the DNC server, and #2 involves Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden. Those are the ONLY things the president asks about regarding Ukrainian Government Corruption.
LOGIC: Steve mentions "the premise" (still unspecified), and then forgets all about his fairness question (1st interview question!) and instead follows Hogan's RED-HERRING. And then pointedly questions Hogan's bald assertion that Trump is very concerned about Ukrainian Government Corruption. Crowdstrike is not part of the Ukrainian Government. Hunter Biden is not part of the Ukrainian Government. (IFF) you are concerned about UKRAINIAN GOVERNMENT CORRUPTION (THEN) you should be investigating UKRAINIAN GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS.
> Hogan: What he didn't talk about were his political rivals for 2020. I remember when democrats used to care about what happened in the 2016 election, that's what he was talking about and quite frankly [TALKING-POINT] this is what the president ran on and won on in 2016 [/TALKING POINT] which is making sure the money we give to our allies is spent wisely. I understand that democrats don't care how we spend taxpayer dollars at home much less abroad, but this president does.
LOGIC: Hogan throws down another RED-HERRING. Trump never mentioned 2020. This is a non-sequitur. Nobody is claiming that "Trump mentioned 2020". The actual implicit claim is that Trump IS THINKING ABOUT 2020 A LOT, SOMETIMES EVEN WHEN HE DOESN'T ACTUALLY SAY THE WORDS 2020. The "fact" that Trump never mentioned 2020 on the call is 100% MOOT. Hogan throws down another RED-HERRING.
POSTULATE WHAT HAS TO BE PROVED. Hogan, out of the blue, says he remembers when democrats used to care about 2016. This is a statement of opinion which is stated as fact, conflating opinion with fact. It is also PROVABLY FALSE. Just ask one person, any person who calls themself a democrat, just ask them if they "care about what happened in 2016" and see if their answer contradicts Hogan's opinion stated as fact.
Wildly off-topic, [TALKING-POINT] this is what the president ran on and won on in 2016 [/TALKING POINT].
Are you sure you want to talk about that? Is this the same president who lost the popular vote by over 2 million? Can you perhaps answer the very first question of this interview mr. "landslide"?
We need to make sure our allies spend the money we give them wisely. That sounds nice, but the problem is it is a statement of PURE 100% OPINION. There is absolutely no way anyone can determine if American allies will spend the money they are given "wisely" or not. There never has been and there never will be. Is it wise to pursue a conspiracy theory about the hacking of a DNC server in 2016? Is that really the wisest way the UKRAINIAN GOVERNMENT WHO IS BASICALLY AT WAR WITH RUSSIA AT THE MOMENT, is that really the most important thing for them to be doing?
If Trump is really super concerned about a DNC server hack from 2016, why doesn't he ask the STATE DEPARTMENT TO OPEN AN INVESTIGATION??????????????????????????????????
Hogan closes his statement with another RED-HERRING, POSTULATE WHAT HAS TO BE PROVED, the democrats don't care about how tax money is spent. Same as before, this statement, bald-assertion, opinion stated as fact, IS PROVABLY FALSE.
> Steve: Please wait a second, we've gotta correct a fact here, you said the president did not ask about a 2020 rival, the record shows, the white-house record of the call, the record you released says, Trump asked about Joe Biden, so that is totally false what you just said. Why did you say that false thing?

It is impossible to establish validity independently from individual reaction and/or prejudice.

Only they know their inner thoughts and how they really feel about a rainy day.
This is the very definition of PRIVATE-INFORMATION (GNOSIS).
PRIVATE-INFORMATION is unfalsifiable and can never be REAL-TRUE-FACT.
PRIVATE-INFORMATION has NO-TRUTH-VALUE.
PRIVATE-INFORMATION is neither TRUE nor FALSE.
PRIVATE-INFORMATION is indistinguishable-from-OPINION.
SINCERITY =/= REAL-TRUE-FACTS.

The analogy is congruent.There are no moving goal posts. It would be like my saying that disposing garbage is under my sovereign jurisdiction, but I'm still obligated to the dictates of the City Dump. That's the reason it's necessary for you to include the qualifier "sanctioned." Once again, could she do this at an abandoned church, hospital, or firehouse? Why must she transfer responsibility (in accordance to the dictates of the State) and not simply relinquish it (like abortion)?
(IFF) you want to abdicate responsibility for a blastocyst/zygote/embryo/fetus (THEN) you must visit a properly equipped and sanctioned facility.
(IFF) you want to abdicate responsibility for a child (THEN) you must visit a properly equipped and sanctioned facility.

hOLd on.There are very good arguments for both deism and theism...
Let's not go ASSERTING all over yourself.
Please present even one "very good" argument for theism.
Just one, oh-man-oh-man, I've been looking for one for such a long time!

I'm not sure how this is considered an extraordinary case.The time, labor, and resources of all citizens is subject to the jurisdiction and arbitration (whim) of the state.Pretty much the only thing they don't already own (capriciously confiscate (take ownership of) at will) is your body and whatever might be inside it.Hence, arbitrary, more so inconsistent.
You're making an appeal to ambiguity which is an appeal to ignorance.
You're basically asserting that because you have failed to identify any coherent framework or principle, that there must be no coherent framework or principle (therefore arbitrary).
If your claim (of "inconsistent") is regarding a particular perceived inconsistency, please be more specific.

This is necessarily true.
You're moving the goal posts.
It is not the mother's responsibility to procure the safety of their abandoned child.
It is merely the mother's responsibility to locate a sanctioned drop-off-point.
Your assertion would be like saying that people can't throw away their garbage whenever they want, because they need to drive-all-the-way to the nearest sanctioned city dump and then follow proper procedure (or pay someone to do it for them).
Safe haven laws presume the transfer of responsibility even if the transfer doesn't happen in person because those safe havens are legally recognized corporations/institutions.
Sure, but the mothers "responsibility" ends the moment she drops the kid off at a sanctioned drop-off-point. Easy-peasy.
And the premises are part of their corporate entity. But could she do the same at an abandoned church, hospital, or firehouse?
It is merely the mother's responsibility to locate a sanctioned drop-off-point.
