organism - definition of organism by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.
A computer is a system. It has a structure analogous to those in a living body. If computers have a sort of "birth", "lifespan" and ultimately a "death", and if it is perfectly fine for me to take my computer and destroy it in whatever way I see fit. Is it fine for a woman to do the same thing to a zygote? I believe it is perfectly fine to do so if the logic we are going by is one where context is no longer necessary. Do you?
