I disagree, and I think with a couple of questions, you will see where I'm coming from. Assuming with the removal of whatever part we're talking about, what's left functions normally: If you start with a complete human being, and remove his or her head, is everything left from the neck down still a human being? What if you remove everything from the neck down, is the head still a human being? What if you remove everything except a pair of skin cells? What if you take away everything but an eye?
That is irrelevant, especially if you are talking about a "brain". A brain, and other things necessary to carry out all the functions needed by a fully grown human is different than those for a one month old baby, or the two week old fetus.
A one month old baby can live fine on only mothers milk, not a full grown man. (altough I mind not mind trying)
I DONT CLAIM TO KN0OW ANYTHING ABOUT HUMAN NATURE
NOIR DO I KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT CRITICAL THINKING
