How much time should be given to a start up to succeed?

The Romans allowed abortion until a child started speaking. Before then, they weren't really considered human, I suppose.

That's not abortion, that's infanticide. But, still relevant, I suppose.

Semantics... but yes you're right. I think the perceptions that allow for abortion or infanticide are similar (though that might be something I'm "not allowed to say"). If it doesn't seem real to you, you can control and/or destroy it.

Zygotes killed by contraception are similar. Very few people consider a single-celled zygote a human.

Not only that, but they had to speak Latin!

If I kid can't say "I think, therefore I am" and mean it, then...
