Metabolic processes and cellular division aren't senses. On a prioritized list of all the things "meaningful" about being a human, metabolic process come in pretty far down the list unless perhaps you happen to be a biologist.

You keep getting these questions because you fail to explain your answers adequately. It's okay because it's not viable? Without an explanation, that makes as much sense as "it's okay because it doesn't look human" or "it's okay because it can't fight off infection without the mother's antibodies".

One definition of viable: "Capable of living outside the uterus. Used of a fetus or newborn." Let me interpret what i said for you: I think that it is okay to terminate a pregnancy when the fetus isn't viable. That's it. That's where i draw the line. If you want to keep playing the "but why" game that's fine. Eventually we'll get to a point where i say, "just because" because when you clear away all the rationalizations, "just because" is the basis for all philosophical reasoning. Somewhere deep down "just because" is the basis for every conviction you subscribe to.

Fyi, unborn children don't have a birthday because they haven't yet been born. Not sure where you were going with that, but I won't ask since questions irritate you.

I was asking you your opinion on why abortion is wrong.
