Some people will be naturally stronger, faster, and more athletic than the rest of us, no matter how hard we try.

However, this was most limited to vitamins, minerals, and the ever popular “weight gainer”, which consisted mostly of sugar and protein.

Abortion Is Murder
Words: 781 - Pages: 3.... negative actually believe that a human being is alive when and only when a human being has fully developed? If this is true, then most of here are not alive. The human specie is only fully grown at adulthood, many of us here are not adults yet -- and by that definition, it wouldn't matter if your shot and killed on the street because "your not fully developed". We are a stage in development -- teenager -- just like a child is, just like a toddler is, just like an old man is, and just like a aborted child is.

than when waking. It has also been observed that a person having a lucid
dream shows more brain activity than a waking person under the influence of
hallucinogenic drugs such as LSD (Luc .....

Words: 2606 - Pages: 10.... child. Many people who are pro-abortion justify their beliefs through the
concept that a fetus is only a blob of tissue until it is born, or the
statement: life begins at birth. Abortion is not as simple as removing a "blob
of tissue" (as the pro-abortion activists put it) from a woman's body. Abortion
is the destruction, dismembering and killing of a human life--an unborn baby.

fetus is a living, growing, thriving human being, directing his or her own
development" (Fetal Development). A fetus is not just a blob of tissue, rather a
