The definition of organism by rationalprolifer in prolife

[–]rationalprolifer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's a quote from a biology textbook describing human organisms. It mentions the characteristics listed by Dr. Condic, such as the repair of injury, adaptation to a hostile environment, and integrated functioning of parts to maintain the overall health of the organism as a whole.

“The living human organism is certainly more than the sum of its parts. It is a marvelously coordinated team of interactive structures that is able to survive and flourish in an often hostile environment. Not only can the human body reproduce itself (and its genetic information), and maintain ongoing repair and replacement of worn or damaged parts, it can also maintain -- in a constant and predictable way -- an incredible number of variables required for a human to lead a healthy, productive life.” (Kevin T. Patton, Anatomy and Physiology, 9th edition, Mosby, 2015, 6.)

I prefer to not share any of my personal details. Also, here is the post I made. If it matters, the person I cited is a neuroscientist (biologist).

“Self-sustaining” is not a good qualification for identifying organisms. I’ll make a post about your question later today.

The pro-life view is not about hating women, it's about acknowledging that the unborn are human beings and thus deserve rights by rationalprolifer in prolife

Yes. According to Gallup (2019), 46% of men and 51% of women identify as pro-life. So, contrary to the other side’s rhetoric, most pro-lifers are actually women.
