Oh boy...
The first pic of is of a child because why? Its self sufficient? It can survive on its own? Its walks talks & shits?
The second picture is not a child because of the opposite reasons I guess.
Hope you never end up in a hospital or old age home on some form of life support. Can't talk to ask for food? well then I guess killing the person is certainly an option. Oh, coma? Can't respond to stimuli etc?
Ah, but comas & veg stats CAN be temporary, so therefor we don't really have the option to "abort" the adult in these situations. But what if Grammy or Grammpy coming out of the coma causes us undo hardships? Hmm.. Still can't waste them eh?
Those little cells will become a person within a 10 month period.
Every hear that bit on the phone call? When does a call become a call... when I dial, when the other person picks up? When there is vocal communication?
We can't come to agreement on the phone call connection time line, but we want to risk a human life without knowing WHEN life starts.
Anyone remember when they used Alpha waves (brain activity) to determine life. Know why they dont do that any more? The equipment got more & more sensitive & they found alpha & Beta waves far sooner than they had before. So by their own benchmark Life started well before the 20 week period.
Toss the alpha wave test out..
watch a video of a late term abortion. Watch the fetus (which is just the latin word for baby) baby struggle while being burned by the saline solution that's used. Tell me its not alive. Fuck, most people would try to protect a kitten from going through it, but fuck the children.
call it what it is. I am of the opinion that life starts at conception & because of that, I must err on the side of caution & vote no go on the abortion issue. Its amazing how people will goto war over an issue like this but those same people who will fight for the right to kill an unwanted child will die themselves to save a dolphin.
I want to go & get some sea turtle eggs. GREAT omelet. sea turtles are protected, but the eggs arent
actually, they are... but I was trying to show the point that if sea turtles eggs are protected the same as sea turtles, how come humans arent given the same protection other than the fact that people arent endangered.
