TC you keep saying that a fetus is just a collection of cells and not a human is a biological fact. Im going to ask you this: have you ever taken a college level or even high school level biology course? If not, I recommend you buy a textbook so you can learn the basics. Out of curiosity, what's your opinion on HeLa cells? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HeLa Immortal cancer cells. They belonged to a human once but now are their own thing. Henrietta Lacks could not be regrown from HeLa cells, so they do not constitute a person. The cells in an embryo will form a human, so a person is alive. Okay, slight subject change here. Let's suppose you could regrow the whole person from that. Would they have the same conciousness (even though they likely wouldn't have the same memories due to growing a new brain from scratch and all)? What would happen here if the original person was still alive too? Would it be a similar situation to identical twins, or something a bit closer - possibly even a "one mind, two bodies" situation? They would be clones, so yes it is the equivalent of identical twins. I doubt they would have any recollection of her original memories, but no one has ever been cloned ~~that we know of~~ so I dont know. <cite>Acceleration posted [p:909095921] in I don't un...
