What?
Are you seriously suggesting a human being breathes atmospheric oxygen, while those who breath oxygen dissolved in liquid are not human?
Some argue self-awareness does not begin until age 1 or 2. There is no mental difference between a child at 9 months in the womb and out (not to mention, children born extremely prematurely often survive).
Our current laws are illogical, and should be overturned.
I'm not sure I understand your point.
Science is not arbitrary. A fertilized embryo (one cell, where there were two gametes) is a new "person" for any measurable use of the term (avoiding arguments over "personhood" or "sentience").
Failure to implant is a death sentence. But being under a death sentence doesn't make you not a person.
The slavery analogy is referring to the law. The current law is that some human beings can be killed, while shifting those same people 1m in any direction suddenly gives them full rights.
Sex cells are not people. They have only 23 chromosomes, and all of those are taken from the parent/host. Embryos have ~46, and do not match either parent.
Yea, I follow the D newsgroups. Jarrett's meltdown is famous.
I don't program much in D, beyond some simple exploration (on Windows, no less). But when I think about new programming languages, I look at D.
The source code for dmd has been available since Mar 2009 (D 1.041 and D 2.026).
There are open source compiler implementations: gdc and ldc
The Tango library for D is open source (and much more extensive than the proprietary library - Phobos).
