Have a little read: ... "Deciding when human life begins is primarily a moral not a biological issue" Discuss... The statement, however biased it may be, invites the reader to consider the implications of both the moral and biological verdict as to when human life begins; both verdicts are quite clearly achieved through different means (one simply being a belief, the other scientific). To fully enable an accurate and well balanced discussion/debate, the reader must first consider what 'human life' (the prime of the statement) actually is. After all, how can one argue against solid evidence and justification, when the understanding of the issue is not absolute? The understanding of what it is to be an individual human being is vital; especially when desiring to make an informed ethical decision. Ignoring the fact that it is a question strewn to controversy, what is human life? Human: having the qualities of people, as opposed to animals, divine beings
