    This is going to end with them taking away the ability to claim children as dependents.

      That’s already one of their goals. That only really benefits the poors, who they believe shouldn’t have any sort of benefit at all.

          Yes, and they want those kids to grow up uneducated and in poverty, to keep wages down for generations.

    Let’s stop using the word conceived and switch to fertilization.

    Go up and ask a “christian” their birth date. When they tell you, say, “No, the date you were fertilized.”

    Then accuse them of being the only religion that constantly lies about their age to seem younger.

    And tell them that vanity is a sin and they will go to hell for being vain.

      To be fair, date of birth is not contested. Their argument is that human life starts before birth. If you’re asking for birth date, don’t act confused if they respond with date of birth.

      Maybe if you want to make a point, ask for “age”, and then follow up with a clarifying question - is it since your fertilization or birth?

            don’t worry, we’re doing our best to ruin it.

            the previous left wing government started plans to construct a new HSR mainline network to connect the majority of citizens in the country, the second the current right wing government got into power that was nuked into oblivion with vague promises of improving existing infrastructure instead (hasn’t happened).

    I was talking to a friend about how the other states should freeze like millions of embryos so their population goes up, and they get more people in the house of representatives.

    She told me it doesn’t work that way :(

    What do you think the ruling will be on the eggs aging? If it’s from fertilization, will every live person need to update their age by a few days?

    Will they get the right to vote at 18 years from fertilization?

    These “children” obviously have a handicap, so they should also be get disability for their lifetime.

      Think about how hard it will be to explain the difference between chronological and biological age to the average supporter of this ruling… You will probably have to throw away and replace the eggs every 18 years, or you get more votes but lose the tax advantage.

    What happens when a couple separate and they have a hundred frozen embryos? How much does this impact child support rulings? how about custody?

    Do these “lives” also constitute constituent counts e.g. does this now influence the voting power of a region?

      But you also don’t have to pay for food or clothes.

      And you could try to argue this is a form of childcare so that you can pay for it with pre-tax dollars in an FSA/HSA account.
