18/08/04 Is an Acorn an Oak Tree?
Is an acorn an oak tree? Is a seed a pretty flower? Is a neuron a brain? Is a clump of cells a human being?
If it is claimed that a clump of cells is a 'human being', then it can also be claimed (perhaps rightly, perhaps wrongly) that a 'human being' is a clump of cells. And if a 'human being' is just a clump of cells, then what is so special about a 'human being'? But, Angry Harry! A human being is surely much more than just a clump of cells? Exactly! ... But, Angry Harry! The clump of cells in the photograph has the potential to be a unique human individual. Yes indeed. But the same goes for every sperm cell and for every egg. And yet we do not cry over the sad loss of millions of unique human individuals every time that a man ejaculates or a woman menstruates, even though each one of his sperm cells and each one of her egg cells could have developed into a unique human individual. But, Angry Harry! A sperm cell on its own cannot develop into a unique human individual, and, of course, neither can an egg. It is only when the egg is fertilised by the sperm cell, and the two bundles of genetic material are combined, that a unique human individual can start to form. So, there is something rather special and human about a fertilised egg. Au contraire. Even a fertilised egg cannot develop into a unique human individual on its own. It needs many other cells to help it on its way. And a single fertilised egg on its own does not form a unique human individual. It is just a cell. It only has the potential to form a unique human individual. And, once again, this puts it into the same category as millions of sperm cells and millions of unfertilised eggs. So what, in fact, is so special about a fertilised egg? Well, Angry Harry. The answer is that a fertilised egg is much closer to being a unique human individual than is a sperm cell or an unfertilised egg. Yes indeed. It is definitely closer. But that's just about all that can be said for it. For the moment, it is still just the precursor of a clump of cells. But, Angry Harry. Where do you draw the line? After all, a line has to be drawn somewhere! Well, personally speaking. I nowadays draw the line somewhere within the range of about 4- 12 weeks. But, quite frankly, I do not have the ability to describe why! |
