America and Life Prison Terms

[Weltall]

I'm not arguing that a human should be in the womb longer than nine months. What I am saying is that we are not because we cannot, the womb's capacity isn't large enough. As for what differences there would be if a pregnancy were longer than nine months is very debatable, and this isn't the place for it.

My point is that the development cycle that turns an egg into a fully-functional, independent human being is one of years. Deciding on the delivery as the point where life begins is almost totally arbitrary, and far closer to the beginning of the cycle than to its completion. It's like saying you have a ceremony but you aren't actually married until nine months later. It's stupid, it's wrong, and it's dangerous.
