Anthony Bourdain (June 25, 1956-June 8, 2018)
"You go out there and show the best story you can as best you can. If it's interesting to you, hopefully it's interesting to others. If you don't make television like that, it's pandering." - Bourdain
A man who loved his work—and it showed.
Although my go-to meal is shaken from a box into a large bowl and then covered with milk; must confess that food/cooking/travel shows are my guilt-pleasure.

knixon I sense by your sarcasm that you're getting angry. Not my intention. Like I said at the outset, I enjoy opinions from the other side as long as there is intelligence and common logic. But we're not getting anywhere. So, discussion over, have a nice day and I really would buy you a beer. I don't get angry at people just because they believe differently.
If anyone else wants to pick up on the discussion of what constitutes the beginning of life, I really do find it a fascinating subject with many possibilities. Would love to hear what someone thinks about the fertilized apple analogy vs. the fertilized human egg.

Not angry, but if you base your logic on claims like "a sperm is an organism" then there really isn't much to discuss. A sperm is just a reproductive cell, or gamete. I don't know if you want to claim that a sperm and a fetus are both "organisms" and since sperm don't have "rights" therefore ipso facto a fetus shouldn't either, because of some agenda or from ignorance or what. But either way, it doesn't hold up.

A sperm IS an organism, that's my point. A cell is an organism. A living thing. Biology 101 is all I was trying to establish. If you won't accept this, we're talking different languages and there's no point.
Also, dude, you're way paranoid regarding my "strategy". I wasn't trying to trick you or anyone. In fact I mapped out a clear way for you to defeat me at my own argument like I said in my very 1st post on this subject, but you didn't pick up on it.
If you were to say that a sperm is a living thing, then logically yes, I would understand your statement that a fetus is a living thing, even though it can't exist outside the womb. But by contradicting that, you closed that door. Whether or not a sperm has "rights" is irrelevant, as I thought we were just trying to agree on what constitutes life. Jesus man, I'm arguing your point for you but you're not getting it!

Most organisms are multi-cellular. An organism can consist of a single cell, if it reproduces. But a sperm cell does not reproduce itself, and hence is not a separate organism. A sperm cell is merely part of the mechanism by which the multi-cellular organism known as a person, reproduces. i.e., a gamete.

Seriously man. I'm just trying to agree on what language we're talking. But if you disagree with Webster & the biology textbooks, I declare this a mistrial. Everyone go home.

Do yourself a favor - ignore sematical discussion with Knixon. His circular 'logic' will have you spinning in your grave.
I swear - I think many times his goal is to see how far off topic he can steer a discussion.

It's just basic logic. All Ford Pintos are cars. But not all cars are Ford Pintos. Similarly, All organisms are one or more cells. But not all cells are organisms. It depends on how it behaves. For a single cell to be considered a separate organism - or life form - it has to have all of the attributes of an organism. Including reproduction. Sperm cells do not reproduce themselves, and are hence not a separate organism or life form. A person is a life form/organism, but no separate part of a person is a separate life form or organism.

Getting back on topic here is the original 1999 New Yorker piece by Anthony Bourdain that started him on the road to public notice

Thanks.
Loved the article and this quote...
“Pork tastes different, depending on what you do with it, but chicken always tastes like chicken.”
Don't know why that made me
but it did.

Maybe because of the "tastes like chicken" thing?
There's probably some chemical-related reason for it, but it's still an interesting observation.

"Maybe the machines didn't know what chicken tasted like, so that's why chicken tastes like everything."- Mouse (The Matrix).
Also, I remember on that other Board someone's signature was: "I love Trolls, they taste just like chicken."
I guess with repetition some things just stick...

Chicken is a small animal with a few parts, basically breast, thigh, legs. A pig has lots of different parts to work with. Also the texture of chicken is a give away as to what the animal is. It takes a chef who works with all kinds of food to know. Now "tastes like chicken" has a whole different deeper meaning to me.
