Nail clippings? Bundle of cells?
It takes a lot of intellectual dishonesty to reduce a living thing to an inanimate object. I guess a severely mentally retarded child should be killed indiscriminately since after all only a bundle of cells, right?
At the end of the first trimester an unborn child has:
Fingers
Toes
Eyes
Ears
A beating heart
A functioning central nervous system
Is that the definition of a bundle of cells or a fingernail?
It is an unborn human. This is proven by the fact that it has human DNA and if left to grow it will develop into an adult human.
There are instances where you’re correct. There are times, fairly common in fact, where the embryo doesn’t develop and it is truly just a “bundle of cells,” more of a tumor than a fetus. Usually it aborts itself, but sometimes it has to be removed by a doctor. It fits your description, but it is very distinguishable from a fetus, and your trying to intellectually label an apple an engine block is a pretty pathetic attempt at justifying the unjustifiable.
