@Wrangler
BTW I note you skipped over the important question I put to you for the second time. I mean it's ok if you can't or won't provide an answer but I think in dodging that question other readers will see your argument is a rather hopeless one.
In case you just missed it here it is again:
What distinguishes a "human being" from something which is "part of a human being"?
For example is a big toe a human being? Or is it part of a human being?
If it is not an actual human being then why not?
Please don't say a big toe is just a human being with a disability !!!!
I did not realize I skipped over it as I've thoroughly addressed many of your posts.
Your question is ridiculous. I think you are being coy as there is no way anyone reading our exchanges could suppose I've been making the claim that a big toe is a human being. For emphasis, I match your exclamation points +1 !!!!!
To compare as equal PART to WHOLE or TOTAL shows such a lack of philosophical grounding, I honestly don't know where to begin, except with a common refrain.
A big toe does not grow up to be President. An actual human being does.
Going back to the disability part of your post, it is THE reason there is such thing as power of attorney. In my father's estate, I have power of attorney over finances; my sister over health decisions. Some years ago, my father was in the hospital with chest pain. I asked my sister if she registered herself at the nursing station as health care power of attorney in the event things so south.
She was far too anxious to consider that, which told me she might not have been the best choice as I was suggesting merely a precautionary act to minimize time between changing health status and her making the necessary health decision, e.g., open heart surgery.
It turned out that my father never lost consciousness and recovered quickly, always maintaining the ability to make his own health care decisions.
Other people are put into medical coma's. So, there are all kinds of scenario's where one may have a
temporary disability to need an advocate to make decisions for them. This certainly applies to the young, human beings below the age of majority, including babies - starting at the moment of conception. Often expectant mother's take special vitamins that are good for her and the separate body within her, aka the baby.
I suspect you are being willfully ignorant of the difference between PART and WHOLE, wanting to pretend a big toe is analagous to a baby at an early stage in its development.
