Right. Mine is backed up by the medical area of developmental biology, doctors, reasearchers, and British law.
Yours twists in the wind to fit your current sarcastic argument, and is not able to be upheld to the slightest of scrutiny.
Strange. I thought we were in the good ol US of A. And until you can (again) find me a doctor that feels that a fetus can live with their mother dead and without machine assistance, I'm going to say my logic is quite true and solid.

And, by that same logic, anyone on a breathing machine is not alive, either. This, my friend, is where your "logic" fails you. Because, it is not correct.

Actually, it's a healthy respect for human life. I guess you wouldn't understand that.
But, feel free to take me off ignore and get in the debate. You've never been good at it before, so it could be fun again (for me).
Nope, the person was and still is alive. The baby has yet to become alive. Until then, it is not a unique living thing. It is a subset of a living thing.

Oh, UNIQUE is now your buzzword. You're suggesting the baby and the mother do not have unique (from each other) DNA?
I have respect for all human life. Sadly, what you are describing is not a human life. Yet.

A 70 year old that needs a breathing machine has a life.
A fetus is simply a potential life.

Define the difference between the two on a scientific level.A 70 year old that needs a breathing machine has a life.
A fetus is simply a potential life.
Once again tossing words into what I am saying. And unique is so you can attempt to understand a bit more.
Irregardless of the differences between the fetus and the woman, they are one living thing. Remove the living portion and the fetus dies. Remove the fetus and the living thing lives.
One living thing.
One has a belly button, the other has a tube.

What word did I toss in?
One living thing, with two unique DNA's, blood systems, brains, etc., etc.
Can you define what makes them the same, with all of the unique differences? You've mentioned dependency before, is that your sole reason for considering them one life (since, clearly they are scientifically two lives - one dependant upon the other)

So, a scar separates life from non-life?

How are the scientifically two lives? Find me any other example of a living thing that is dependant on the other, else it dies immediately.
Nope, the tube seperates a life from a non-life.

That's not a good argument. There are plenty of parasites that depend on hosts for life.

Separate DNA. Separate digestive and respiratory and circulatory and, well ALL biological systems.
Show me how they're ONE life, not two lives with one dependant upon the other.
