I have a few degrees in science and as a scientist, I am so sick of hearing “Follow the Science” with the whole COVID thing yet we are considered a bigot when we “follow the science” on issues like the human species does in fact only have two sexes and the plumbing you are born with is determined by the genes found on the X and Y chromosomes or that we suppress women’s health by being affirmative that life does start at conception.
Scientific evidence shows that the first evidence of life came about in the Archaean Era in the form of primitive prokaryotic cyanobacteria that was far more primitive than any human zygote created after karyogamy.
I always bring up the argument w/colleagues that defend abortion with what if NASA found evidence of life on another planet that was similar to the biology of a zygote. This contradiction of the science of when an individual life begins is one big contention I have with my field. We’ll argue all day long about things like speciation yet it is deemed politically incorrect to discuss when human life begins.
If I had the money, talking lots of money, I’d stage a whole NASA discovery with the media that finds life on another planet and then describe that “discovered life” synonymous to the biology of a human zygote. Then watch the scientific community defend this new life, and even start bringing in the climate change arguments and how me being on planet earth I am effecting the life on this distant planet because my carbon footprint is emitting damaging EM waves out into space, or some garbage argument like that.
And then I crash their party w/ this life you are defending is not real, I was just describing human life upon conception.
Sorry for the tangent.
Appreciate the input, thanks.
