It’s the abortion debate but with chickens.
- noxer 6y agoPeople want it to be but facts are not up for a debate.
- 0-_-0 6y agoHow does your argument apply to humans then? How long until you consider an embryo a living human?
- noxer 6y agoI didn't even made an argument. "To kill" means somehow causing the death of something. This the fact. It doesn't matter if its a animal or a human. An certainly doesn't matter where it happens. You can kill something/someone on purpose, by accident or "involuntary on purpose" like in self defense but that doesn't change the killing part. You caused the death of something = you killed. Facts are neutral. I'm not saying chicks should or should not be killed whether inside the egg or outside. All I'm saying is that it is without any doubt killing, therefore the "no-kill" thing is a lie. Killing an embryo inside a human obviously is killing to. There is a special word for that but that doesn't change the facts. Also I assume with "embryo" you meant a "human embryo" so by definition it is already a living human (assuming its not a dead human embryo). Its a living humans it a early development state that we call embryo it will become a living humans fetus and so on unless it dies or gets killed. These are the facts, words have meanings and definitions. Thats why we can not kill SARS-CoV-2 with bleach because by definition viruses are not alive so we can not cause its death)
- trianglem 6y agoWhy isn’t it a living chicken after 3 days? 1 day? Immediately after fertilization? Whatever this has been argued ad infinitum.
- noxer 6y agoSee answer above. There is no need to argue about facts. Words have meanings and they are not debatable. "Living", "death", "to kill" are rather simple words there is really no place for confusion about what these words mean.
- trianglem 6y agoWhat is the fact? When does life begin? At fertilization or an arbitrary time after that with the chicken egg. It’s a one or two word answer, so when is it?
- noxer 6y agoDid you read the answer above? You obvious didn't. Also why ask me when life begins and then immediately answer it yourself. Beginnings and ends are points in time not arbitrary time spans. These are the facts.
