They don't need a stance on this entirely different debate

I'm aware that most abortions are before 10 weeks but you didn't say "most abortions that are carried out are just a bundle of cells" - you said that "For pretty much the entirety of the period when someone can choose to have an abortion, the fetus is just an bunch of cells". You can't revise that now to be more right, because your old post is still there. Darn you, internet . Quote:

Your entire argument was based on the "bundle of cells" premise, which is demonstrably false. You've amended that to "viability of living independently" - and that's fine, certainly debatable, I still disagree but it's not INcorrect just a matter of opinion.

...there is no definitive agreement as to where the point of life beginning is, surely...hence abortion always being such an emotive subject because there are things considered ..this is quite a good site for the varying views more simplistically...
http://www.bbc.co.uk/ethics/abortion.../alive_1.shtml Unfortunately there's no agreement in medicine, philosophy or theology as to what stage of foetal development should be associated with the right to life. That isn't surprising, because the idea that there is a precise moment when a foetus gets the right to live, which it didn't have a few moments earlier, feels very strange. And when you look closely at each of the suggested dates, they do seem either arbitrary or not precise enough to decide whether the unborn should have the right to live. Nonetheless, as a matter of practicality many abortion laws lay down a stage of pregnancy after which abortion is unlawful (because the foetus has a right to life), and the dates chosen are usually based on viability. ...this is also quite interesting when a pregnant female is murdered...is it a single murder of a pregnant woman or a double murder to include the killing of her unborn child...(...obviously there are some cases when an unborn child has been saved..)...and I don’t think there is any definitive answer to that either...it depends on the laws of the country/state etc... https://theconversation.com/when-unb...ability-104222 |

1) As soon as cell division begins (the moment of conception) 2) The beginning of conscious thought/sensory experience in some form 3) Viable unassisted survivability 4) Full term birth "Life" in the biological sense begins as soon as cell division begins, in the same way that a plant or bacteria is alive. As for when "meaningful human life" begins, none of these is "wrong", it's a philosophical question so purely opinion based. As far as my thoughts on abortion go, I'm fully on board with it all the way up to point 3 but think that wherever possible we should ensure it's before point 2 - that means it being free and quickly/easily available. Women asking for an abortion at 10 weeks and not getting it until 14 weeks - which sometimes happens - is a disgraceful situation. I'm also pro termination if there's a risk to the mother's life or health, at any point during pregnancy. That's a bit more morally "grey" as I do believe that in late stage pregnancy it's the choice between two lives - but the life of an "established" (for want of a better word?) human with thoughts, memories, experiences and connections has to always take precedence. Of course what we do know to be biological fact is that a 2nd trimester fetus is not just a bundle of cells . Well. I guess it IS just a bundle of cells, in the sense that any living thing is just a bundle of cells . Where it all gets complicated I guess is when you start introducing supernatural hocus-pocus like the concept of the "soul". When does the fetus/baby "have a soul". That's not a debate I can really enter into because my answer obviously is "never because the concept is nonsensical" . Last edited by Toy Soldier; 02-07-2020 at 09:03 AM. |

...I don’t believe the concept of a soul is nonsensical when there is so much we just don’t know or understand...but I’ll fight you another time/day on that one....‘the point of life’ though, is something which will remain endless in terms of opinion because it varies so much, even in terms of from state to state in a country...it is the law that is determining that point, which is why I found the ‘murder’ one interesting...because in some areas of Australia for instance...?...the law follows the ‘born alive rule’... “This is a common law rule that states that a homicide can only be committed on a legally recognised person, and that a person is not legally recognised until they are “fully born in a living state”...And yet in other areas, killing an unborn child can carry a maximum penalty of life imprisonment...

Life begins when a life can support the basic act of living. A first trimester fetus cannot support itself, by your own admission, a fetus can survive at 22 weeks BUT I looked it up last night, the chances of survival are low and without immediate medical attention, it's non-existent. Can you really say life begins then when most of the time, it'll result in the likely immediate death of the fetus? I consider life to begin when a baby can live outside of the womb without dying and for me. A baby can survive before that point, yes, but it's not common enough to make out that a 22 week fetus is the same as a full term baby. Stating 'that's your opinion' is redundant, everything in this topic is an opinion but my opinion, like yours, is backed up by the same method of googling as you and it's just as valid as yours. You are splitting hairs again and it won't work. |

Taking this and making it into "How dare you call me a liar!!" is just utterly bizarre... and I'm not sure how you can ever engage in an open debate if you think that everyone who thinks your opinion is incorrect is "calling you a liar". You've gotten emotional and aggressive here with really little if any reason, I personally have absolutely ZERO time for it right now, I'm not here for nor have I ever been part of any "TiBB wars" so keep that where it belongs please Dezzy. If you can't keep the debate civilized I have no idea why you're doing it at all, it seems exhausting. Quote:

why stop at life during pregnancy, why bother having hospitals at all, because the people would be dead without treatment ..... so no need to bother
I despair ..... |

i'm referring to the ridiculous argument that a abortion is fine on a premature baby because it wouldn't survive without medical attention ... the same applies to many living/born animals that don't receive specialised care
