Abortion debate (older thread)

You made up that list of the laws on killing. In Roman civilization it was perfectly acceptable to kill someone if they were your slave, and an emperor could kill whoever he wanted to. This implies that it's not always a linear increase in the amount of killing that society will deem acceptable :dozey:

 

 

 

Abortion IS killing babies! the only difference is its before they were BORN!

No, abortion is killing a group of cells that will EVENTUALLY develop into a baby. Difference.

 

 

 

Edit - How do you feel about artificial incemination? In those cases they take multiple eggs and fertilize them with multiple sperm, and then they only implant ONE of those fertilized eggs, and either freeze or dispose of the rest. THOSE fertilized eggs are NO DIFFERENT than the fertilized eggs in a mothers body that are going to get aborted.

actually we're going more towards the no longer killing criminals, criminal killing has been happening for a long time, if you don't believe that you are a fool. Abortion is preventing a life, prevention of a life can't equate to murder, because the life has yet to start. Murder is taking away the life of someone who is already alive and living it.

And I respond to THAT assertion with my quote from earlier in this thread

In those cases they take multiple eggs and fertilize them with multiple sperm, and then they only implant ONE of those fertilized eggs, and either freeze or dispose of the rest. THOSE fertilized eggs are NO DIFFERENT than the fertilized eggs in a mothers body that are going to get aborted, so should they not be thrown away? Should it be required that ALL of them are implanted and brought to term?

 

 

I added a little to the end of the quote...

It might be "living", but it has no thought and doesn't "exist", in terms of conciousness. Hardly human, I would say.

 

And if you keep on talking about abortionists exterminating lives, then why don't you want every female to be pregnant all the time? Both the sex cells and the fertilized egg have absolutely no thought, both can develop into a human, but yet somehow it's right to prevent fertilizing an egg but to kill a fertilized egg is wrong, even though in both cases the being in question would never exist.

A zygote is a developing human ,a sperm cell isnt and cant develop into one at all,you need both a sperm and an egg and once they unite the human is starting to be created. We are talking about zygotes here, not sperm or egg cells ,so dont go to the other extreme and bring up sperm and egg cells .

 

So your saying not being consciouss makes you not human ? What about the most brain dead of people or people who are extremely mentally retarded ,they are not technichally consiouss in your terms ,does that make these people not human in your eyes ? They are no different than a zygote then .

 

God Bless,

PS abortianist call us PROLIFE people "anti abortionists" to make us sound negitive, so we should call PROCHOICE people "ANTI LIFE"

But these people have experienced conciousness already, we're talking about the removal of cells pre-ANY conciousness / awareness.

I am VERY MUCH not an anti-life person. I am anti-war, anti-murder, anti-death penalty, anti-killing. So I dont think it would be quite right to call me anti-life

 

if we're going to call people pro-abortion anything else it should be anti-imposingofbeliefsontoothers. :dozey:

So, what do you know about when the fetus actually becomes a fetus? I wanna know when you think it's okay to abort and not to abort. Give me a time frame. Cause i'm not sure when you're thinking a group of cells becomes a fetus. This may sound like i'm being a jerk, but i'm trying not to be. I'm just not sure what time frame you're looking at.

But that's not the point. The point is that both of them have no intellegence at all, so what's the difference. The end result is that both don't exist...with the baby aborted before it could think, it's like the parents never concieved.

 

So your saying not being consciouss makes you not human ? What about the most brain dead of people or people who are extremely mentally retarded ,they are not technichally consiouss in your terms ,does that make these people not human in your eyes ? They are no different than a zygote then .

 

I feel somewhat the same way towards extremely mentally retarded people, although those who are that extreme probably wouldn't survive that long...besides, I thought you could get an abortion late in the pregnancy if the doctors found your baby was very mentally ill? I have a pretty mentally retarded cousin by the way(autistic and cannot talk), but I wouldn't want him to die, however I feel it's up to the parent's choice ultimately.

 

A person in a hospital bet in a coma is uncocence too! is it all right to kill THEM??

 

Like ET said, they have already experienced being concious, and almost always are still thinking inside a coma. If they aren't...usually they are dead anyway.

 

So, what do you know about when the fetus actually becomes a fetus? I wanna know when you think it's okay to abort and not to abort. Give me a time frame.

I'm talking before there are brain waves, so usually <12 weeks.

Same here. I think if you cannot make your decision in three months then it should be made for you, and you should have to go through with it, and I agree with Tyrions basic description of level of development.

no, because they have a sub-level of conciousness. :) Read a medical journal my friend.

 

and a zygote is no more advanced than the ebola virus. Infact the ebola virus is more advanced than a zygote, so you're a murderer for inoculating people to prevent them from getting the ebola virus, how dare you.

a diesese is just destructive to the body

 

A disease is a life trying to begin, too. When you say destructive to the body, though, you realize it's because it has to eat our cells to survive, right?

A day after the egg has been fertilized. You have to use a pregnancy tester, but it isn't excactly rocket science to know to use a tester after you had unprotected sex...
