Karado, although you have a funny way of saying things, I disagree.
And when I was a fetus, I admit that I was worthless. Now I’m a full grown human, which makes me not worthless.[/quote]
What makes you worth something now? Technically, you’re replaceable. Your parents can have other kids, your loved ones can love others, other people can do your job, other people can do pretty much anything you do.
You are as replaceable as that worthless clump of organic matter known as a human life in the fetal stage.
It goes for all of us.
With the exception of my exceptional PWI prowess, I am replaceable in all facets of life.
I am simply pointing out, as most pro-abortionists do is you introduced a slippery slope. [/quote]
Maybe you overlooked something? The thing is there are slippery slopes all over the place which come as a result of what it is specifically we value about human life, and how we define human life.
If it’s about human life, as in cells then you have to treat things like grafted ears grown on pigs, and organs grown in petri dishes, in vitro fertilizations as valuable human life.
In the case of in vitro fertilizations there are usually several eggs fertilized, which means potential humans. So what do you think about those things given several of the eggs will be discarded either by the doctor or the human body? Usually both occur (body rejecting or absorbing) and the doctor getting rid of excess.
What do you think about pregnant women who maybe don’t take very good care of themselves and have miscarriages? Should they be put on trail for some degree’s of murder/manslaughter? I know of cases where criminals are charged with double murder for killing pregnant women so the crazy ass precedent is there for a crazy lawyer to play with. If you stick to your guns you have to have a position on this…
Just wondering how and what it is you value about human life. I’m curious to know, as most times when I hear religious folk talk about what it is about life they value, I too find slippery slopes that they aren’t comfortable with. It’s always based on how and what they define as valuable.

Mental gymnastics that attempt to rationalize murder don’t change the cold hard facts.

Maybe mental gymnastics that attempt a rational response to ridding a person of some unwanted cells . Those are the facts
