Is an Unborn Baby a Person?
This question is very debatable in the sense that many individuals answer yes or no. But, under the Constitution, it is not viewed as one because it just a fetus in the uterus. Some tend to disagree like in the similar situation that happened back then with the blacks. Black people where not counted as individuals, but where known as slaves because of their status in life. Those who disagreed where called anti-abolitionists because they believed that everyone was counted as a person no matter their rank or position. Later on, they were counted as 3/5 of a person and now: they have a full individual status. So, if this happened to them, then is just a matter of time before unborn babies can be people, too. I mean, seriously, what to the government are the requirements to be a person? A full gasp of air, a complete body image, a beating heart, etc. That is just nonsense because a life is counted as a life from beginning till the end no matter what. Express your thoughts on the issue.

I think an unborn baby is not a person because technically is just an egg. It doesn't have arms, legs, or a beating heart to define it as a human being, so I would have to disagree.
