>AI is turning all the atheist leftists who were supportive of late term abortions and fetal stemcell research into religious conservatives
What happened to "it's just a clump of cells, it's not alive"
>>
The same could be said of leftists.

what are you talking about? i don't use /pol/

If we harvest cells from Israelis they can finally be useful for the first time in their despicable race's history.

>"it's just a clump of cells, it's not alive"
It isn't that it isn't alive, of course it is alive.
It's not a person, and that's what matters.

>It's not a person
Yet.

at what point does it become human?
>>
>>110208707
Upon Inception.

that what i'd say, that's not what he's suggesting

Another vibeGOD victory

>>110208717
(also i assume you meant conception, or more specifically, fertilisation)

trying to define a fertilised human egg as anything besides a human means you must have a specific alternative stage in human development where they become human, and i haven't seen anybody manage to do that (probably because it doesn't make sense and is just cope for wanting to kill your children)
>>
>>110208707
When it wakes up and is conscious awake in the womb? You know that babies in womb kick and move around, not just sleep. When it stops sleeping for the first time could be it.
>>
>>110208744
are you not human when you sleep? is a coma patient not human?
>>
What I want to be true is true because I say it is true. Other people are wrong again because I say so. It’s fun being right all the time when everyone else is wrong.

>>110208707
when it's named. that's when it gets a soul

Where do I find more information about show more? I tried looking it up but I can't find anything on it. The person in the picture said it's 5x times faster than show more but again searches are turning up nothing.

>>110208492
what if we're just a bunch of brain cells in a container somewhere being used for compute and nothing we experience is real?

>>110208707
When do people die?
Not when their hearts stop beating, because they can be revived indefinitely (provided the right conditions and technology).
Life and death are convenience concepts, not actual binary states.
The religious text that most religious conservatives follow in the west even says that death is an illusion that gets destroyed at the end of time when all people (not beasts) are revived (the ones that practiced game engine development and pornhub are turned off permanently).
Likewise, being human is something we have mapped onto all modern hominids in all states of development for political reasons.

>When do people die?
when the brain stops functioning.
speaking of this however, there is also a possible distinction between "a human" and "a human body". like a embryo doesn't have a brain to begin with, so while the body is alive, there's "nobody home yet", so to speak. obviously an embryo pre-neural-development isn't dead because it doesn't have a brain, the body can live separate to the brain by means of artificial life support, though at that point it is just the body, there's no "person" anymore if the brain is non-functional

i don't believe in souls or other extra-physical life, though those ideas do obviously complicate matters anyway

>>110208492
How many nigger brain cells would you need to run a single calculator? Probably 40 pounds worth. Fuck niggers!!!

Does it?

https://nyulangone.org/news/patients-recall-death-experiences-after-cardiac-arrest
>doctors have long thought that the brain suffers permanent damage about 10 minutes after the heart stops supplying it with oxygen

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/miracle-student-survived-his-body-being-frozen-solid-a6823801.html
>But though the 26-year-old had spent 12 hours outside in temperatures of -20C and his body was almost frozen solid, he somehow survived.

They just post-trained wan and are trying to scam some VCs
It's not that deep bro

Never—people aren't even real.

>>110209834
does it? do brains stop functioning? yea, nobody lives forever
you cited examples where the brain didn't stop functioning
>>
>>110208492
Wake me up when its completely free and can run on my toothbrush.
>>
>>110209872
The brain stopped functioning but didn't stop being capable of functioning.
That's the distinction that people have trouble with.
>>
>>110208758
If all you do is sleep, yes. You see a vegetable.

AI is turning OP into a drooling idiot as well as a faggot.

obviously i'm talking about when it stops functioning permanently

This is what diarrhea in 4chan thread form is.

When does that happen?
