You have no idea. This dude first cropped up with his caricature of a lawyer at a planning meeting last year trying to push this shit.

The owner insists that the smell isn't bad and that he lives near his other asphalt plant in Massachusetts. The residents there also fought him on that plant, lost, and litigation is ongoing because the whole town fucking reeks of that shit. He keeps insisting the fumes are all within "safe levels".

They flat out lied to the planning board about community pushback in Mass.

That dude's lawyer is comically evil. Saw them trying to pitch this same crap last year.

I think this is actually the best definition. Once it can maintain homeostasis organically, and I would argue without extreme interventions, it's a living individual. Until then, a fetus is no more a "person" than your liver is. Sure, it's living tissue, but it can't function or survive independent of the body it's attached to.

The question just exposes his ignorance. The sperm that inseminates the ovum is "alive", as is the ovum itself. Living things come from other living things; there's no spontaneous generation going on anywhere in this process.

What he's really trying to ask is 'when is it a person', and that's a significantly more difficult question to answer.

Yeah, I don't think they'd even let you look at a room in Hollis for $13

Like yes, but I also want hookah style bars, but for weed.

This would be amazing, but I'm not holding my breath.

I'm not convinced the extremely wealthy drink tap water.

I personally am one of those dirty, pinko, commie-socialist types, so I believe everyone is entitled to clean air, clean water, healthy food, safe housing, and medical care.

But if you have enough money you can buy all the clean, PFAS free, drinking water you and your family could ever need and leave the contaminated stuff for the plebs.

It's gonna be really hard without a global ban on PFAS and even if that was accomplished, these are substances that don't breakdown in the environment. They're known as "forever chemicals".

Because money.
