Welcome to Gaia! ::

I suppose I mean, human being, not just human, since obviously a fetus is a human.

Though I've spent many nights trying to spell out to some people what makes a fetus a living human, not arguing personhood at all, just that it's alive and human.

there's your link, pyro. I'll be back with more links in a second.

Understandable. I plan on updating the thread tomorrow morning XD I'm tired and lazy tonight (I have to go find all the info I promised to add XD). Thank you for the links.

I heart Psychology Today. The only place I can read it is on my campus though u.u;;; no one seems to carry it at home.

The only problem with Psychology Today is that anyone can submit an article to it. And while I believe that Janet L. Hopson is, in fact, a person of great repute, "A new wave of research," "researchers now know," "Japanese scientists have reported" aren't real citations u.u;; A number of people who work at universities (which can be anything from grad students to tenured professors with years of experience) were cited, but no actual studies or experimental data was ever cited u.u;;

It's a great article to read, but I personally wouldn't hold it as a rock-solid source since nothing asserted in the article can be readily verified. I'll include it anyway though, because it is an interesting read, and it wouldn't be too much trouble to google the scientists named to see if any of their research is online.
