I mean, come on push, obviously lion cubs have passed through that magical barrier making them worth protecting. Shssssss[/quote]
Everyone puts their own value on things, some more than others. Is it really that hard to understand?[/quote]
It is for me. I don’t understand how you can care about another species, especially one that would kill you given the opportunity, more than your own.
Does not compute. [/quote]
Well here is one simple example. You’ve had a dog for 12 years and it dies, the same day some innocent person dies in the middle east. Which one are you most likely to lose sleep over?[/quote]
My dog because we’ve bonded for 12 years and I don’t know the guy who died at all.
I get your point (and I understood it yesterday), but this scenario is sort of a trick scenario because no one that’s pissed about this imaginary lion cub (or Cecile the lion) has bonded with either the cub or the fetus, yet they care more about the cub than the thousands of babies being killed each year. In fact many think it’s acceptable to kill a baby and not a lion cub. So again, it doesn’t make any sense what so ever, at least to me.
Also, for the record, if I had to choose between the life of my dog and the life of a stranger I’d choose the stranger because it is my personal belief that human being are more valuable than animals, even ones I love. [/quote]
The story of the lion makes a better connection to the readers. Just lookup any articles about. You get a history of how the animal lived and was an attraction at the sanctuary, how it was injured with a arrow for more than 24 hours before being tracked and shot. You just can’t make the same story with a newly conceived embryo. So a weak bond does exist here.[/quote]
I disagree:

“So then you’re just kind of cognizant of where you put your graspers, you try to intentionally go above and below the thorax, so that, you know, we’ve been very good at getting heart, lung, liver, because we know that, so I’m not gonna crush that part, I’m going to basically crush below, I’m gonna crush above, and I’m gonna see if I can get it all intact. And with the calvarium, in general, some people will actually try to change the presentation so that it?s not vertex, because when it’s vertex presentation, you never have enough dilation at the beginning of the case, unless you have real, huge amount of dilation to deliver an intact calvarium. So if you do it starting from the breech presentation, there’s dilation that happens as the case goes on, and often, the last, you can evacuate an intact calvarium at the end.”
That’s fucking terrible. [/quote]
