My first thoughts from reading the headline was that it probably had to do with abortion and cannabis legalization.
Seriously, I mean that was what I focused on when shopping around for higher education. 1) do you sanction the drugs I like to study with and 2) do you sanction killing off tiny humans if I make a oopsie.
I didn't finish school, maybe the weed had something to do with it if I'm being honest but at least I'm not an uneducated father!
Tiny human? Is that what you call a formless mass of cells?
Zygotes and embryos are closer to zygotes and embryos of other species then they are of fully developed human babies. Would you consider the zygote of a pig a "tiny human"?
Another note, no one studies with weed. Why do I even bother with these out of touch people?
you get a biopsy well I'm going to take this tiny human down to the lab to see if it's malignant. Now give me your arm so I can extract some liquid human
What we really should be doing is normalizing the name "maybe-baby" for fetuses..."fetus" sounds too clinical. So people colloquially call it a baby, and that makes some people think of any stage of fetus as a baby, despite the fact miscarriages are extremely common and sometimes they just die randomly even very late in gestation...
So it's really a maybe-baby
Calling it anything close to baby gives these people ammunition. I fine with the clinical terms but if we really need a branding campaign let's get rid of the words abortion and termination. Cell removal? Uterus purge?
