Reply #10: Badly phrased question and horrible manners. [View All]

A human fetus can only be human.
What is "humanity", exactly?

At birth a neo-natal member of the species Homo Sapiens is considered a legal person, an organism(since it is now not dependent on the woman within whom it resided) and a human being(in the social sense of the word).
What more does it need?

I think most people on here would think it morally wrong for a woman to abort a fetus, just on a whim, the day before it was due.
Such ridiculous hyperbole aside, actually, I don't.
Other peoples medical procedures aren't any concern of mine, let alone a concern that requires a moral judgement.

And just to calm your fears, such abortions simply do not occur.
And certainly not for any "whimsical" reason... presuming that a woman with an unwanted pregnancy is unable to make the decision to abort except "at a whim"?
Insulting, at best, don't you think?

The only possible reason a prenate would be aborted immediately prior to birth would be in a dire emergency situation whereby the woman's life could *only* be saved by such a procedure or the fetus has suffered some debilitating and fatal circumstance.

So where is the line drawn?
Where is it drawn now?

What do you think?
I think people need to butt out of other people's private business.
