Now that Alabama says embryo are human, can a couple claim them as dependents (deductions) on their taxes?

A single ejaculation can contain up to 500 million sperm. A Fertile man can release 2 to 5 mL of semen in a single ejaculation, which means a single ejaculation can contain between 300 million and 400 million sperm….the projection is that sperm will soon be classified as “person” .more tax deductions?

Great question? These people don’t think one inch beyond their nose – they do not consider the fallouts of their myopic decisions.

What are human embryos if they're not human? I assume that claims for children as dependents come with an upper age restriction. Apply the same restriction to children at birth and the hypothetical problem is solved. Or am I wrong?

So far you and the state of Alabama LAW are the only codification of that POLICY that I am aware of. And after the public outcry Alabama legals are tripping all over themselves saying they didn’t mean to say that embryos are human…. Maybe you can enlighten.
By the way, I never thought that eggs were substitutes for chicken when I go to the supermarket.

Yeah. And a human hair is not a human being. It's a hair.

Interesting --- let me see if I can come-up with a simile --- human pee mixing with another human pee in a tube is not a person – does that work smile

I'm grateful that we're making progress and the humanity of the embryo has now be admitted, if not conceded. I was beginning to wonder if human embryos might be another species, possibly alien in nature.

Next question - at what point does a human embryo cease to be a non-human and become a human?

Is this all because birdie chose the word human instead of children? Much could be saved in the back and forth by understanding instead of taking literally.
