    What fucking planet do you live on that the Holy Grail is an obscure Monty Python movie? I mean, Jesus, you picked one of the most famous scenes in the fucking movie. You may as well have said "I'll bite your legs off!" and called it obscure.

    Faggot.

    A parasite is a species that lives off another species. You can have exploitive and symbiotic parasitism, but it always involves a host and parasite species.

    A human embryo and a human mother are the same species. Therefore, by definition, the human embryo is NOT a parasite.

    Birth is a stage in the development of a human being when it can survive independent of the mother. It is NOT the point at which the embryo becomes human. Biologically, that point occurred at conception.

    A decomposing body is dead. Comparing them is the logical fallacy of false equivalence.

    Your positions are simply factually incorrect. I suggest you read some biology texts.

    Biology differs with you. Read a text on sexual reproduction. When the gametes join, a new member of the species has been created. The fertilized egg IS Homo Sapiens. Your position is simply factually incorrect.

    Your argument basically boils down to: A human being is worthy of life when it has reached an arbitrarily defined stage of development.
