I wonder when we’ll see him raging about all the TLLs with animals or tree stumps or coffee stains.

Y’know, the things that can’t defend themselves against such harsh and irrational punishment.

Um, I think you misread my post (and probably got me mixed up with somebody else, too). The point I was making was that this *is*a fetus, and I was saying the person who said it wasn’t because “fetus” is supposedly *only* Latin for offspring was wrong. Incidentally, I was also one of the main people arguing that people *can* and *do* love their children and still call them fetuses when they’re in the womb. So I agree with what you’re saying, but please make sure you’re reading *everything* I’m saying instead of skimming and then chewing me out.

And also, technically “fetus” doesn’t mean the same thing in English as it does in Latin. The original Latin meaning of “fetus” is “the bearing, bringing forth, or hatching of young,” and while it was sometimes used to refer to the young themselves, that wasn’t the usual meaning. This is true of a lot of Latin words that were transferred directly into English (which is the point I was trying to make when I said,”If that’s a valid argument, then most medical terminology just went out the window, taking a whole ton of legal terms, general science terms, and a sizable chunk of everyday English with it.”) For instance, when was the last time you used “virus” to mean “slime or poison” instead of to refer to a communicable disease? When have you ever used “calculus” to refer to a pebble? Just because it’s a Latin word, that doesn’t mean that the meaing is exactly the same.

You are wrong. “Fetus” in English means exactly the same as “fetus” in latin, because it is A LATIN WORD.
It means MAMMAL OFFSPRING – usually from a certain point of time inside the womb, until it is born. It’s got nothing to do with viability or anything else.
How sad is it that YOU do not awknowledge the life of a fetus, and even tell the mother to kill it? Where did you get the right to judge just how much a mother loves her child – over the internet, even?
Maybe your mother should have killed YOU. :3

But you’re right – this probably isn’t a fetus. It’s probably an embryo.

You’re a moron – and not more civilized than a gamer. Don’t flatter yourself – you’re obvsiously not even as smart as the average gamer in the first place, dear. <3

Also, you're allowed to insult everyone else, but everyone has to "LEAVE YOU ALONE"? It doesn't work that way. You start the storm, and you'd better hang on through the hurricane.

Oh c’mon there are entire blogs dedicated to geeky parenting. Not to mention, last year ThinkGeek started selling children’s items, including a sleeping bag shaped like a dead Tauntaun and a backpack shaped like Yoda. The kid is going to have an awesome childhood =D

-jumps up and down- what’s wrong with calling your unborn child a fetus? my cousin called her baby a “parasite” when it was still inside her.. -tilts head- people without common sense shouldn’t be going on sites like this… try wikipedia, okay?

That’s exactly what I meant.

By: bionelly

Er, what thread would that be? The closest thing I can see to a post “debunking” the idea that “fetus” is the actual, correct term is Emily’s, in which she goes on about the original Latin meaning of the word while conveniently ignoring the current English meaning. If that’s a valid argument, then most medical terminology just went out the window, taking a whole ton of legal terms, general science terms, and a sizable chunk of everyday English with it.

And granted, babies are not fully developed, but they are (generally speaking) sufficiently developed to survive outside the womb, while fetuses (generally speaking) are not. I have a feeling that was what Wolftail actually meant by that.

By: bionelly

bionelly — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 00:03:32 +0000

Right, because the only possible reason for using the correct term for something is to make it easier to kill it. It couldn’t possibly be for the sake of accuracy or anything.[/sarcasm]

I called my daughter a fetus when she was one, as did several friends and family members, and yet somehow she’s made it to three and a half without being killed by any of us.

How sad that you a) didn’t read the whole thread above that specifically debunks your incorrect statement, and b) that you think a newborn baby is a fully developed human being either physically or mentally.

By: Wolftail

Wolftail — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 22:27:11 +0000

How sad that you don’t know that it IS a fetus until the child is actually born and fully developed as a human being.

How sad that you refer to you BABY as just a FETUS. I’m sure it would be easier for you to kill it if you just refer to it as such.

Yeah. I hate it when people use the appropriate names for things. How dare a pregnant woman call her fetus a fetus! I bet she’ll call her newborn an infant or a newborn, too. That brazen hussy will surely explain how babies are made using words such as penis and vagina, instead of polite words like wrong-spot and shame-shame.

How the heck is this and INSULT? Really, get a grip. This does not hurt the child in any way what so ever. Its a sonogram photo and it DOES look like the Emperor. People like you make everything a issue in the this world. Chill out.

True that. The word fetus is Latin for offspring. That’s all. Nothing magical happens at birth that suddenly transforms a “fetus” into a “baby”. It’s a baby in the womb and a baby out of the womb. But calling it a “fetus” makes people feel better when they kill it!
Whatever gets you through the night, you liberal assholes!
