    life starts when the zygote begins to divide, not when the baby is born.

    He was fired for teaching life starts at conception, not that sex is determined by chromosomes. The headline is purposefully sensational.

        No. Sperm cells are also alive. Egg cells are alive. Skin cells are too. All cells are alive. Life doesn’t begin anywhere.

        You’re purposefully conflating the scientific definition of life with its religious definition in order to make a political argument. That’s the same thing this professor did and it’s why he was fired.

              Seems more like what you’re doing since nobody else was discussing religion

                We are when you’re clearly making religious parallels. Just because you didn’t say “religion” doesn’t mean this isn’t about religion.

                    “Life begins at conception” is a religious statement, not a scientific one. Or are you going to deny that too? No point discussing anything with you at all if you’re just outright ignorant.
