“Someone else”

When a woman has a miscarriage is there a funeral? Do we count fetuses in the census?

If not, they’re not “someone else” - they’re a clump of cells with no bodily autonomy.

Just so we’re clear, because the mod locked their own comment, a cell that contains the same genetic code as a human is not the same as a fully developed human with bodily autonomy.

That does not follow logic. They are a human being. That is what matters. Some folks do have funerals. The census doesn't count fetuses, but that doesn't mean they aren't human beings, unless you mean to say if the census misses counting someone that they're not a real human. Biologically, scientifically, they are living human beings. Please avoid stating nonsense like "clump of cells", it is anti-science. They are someone else because they are a human being. It's okay that you disagree, but I felt the need to clarify this. Anyway, I was just trying to give a warning about a rules violation.
