Autonomous means you are not dependent of anyone, that child would crawl to the couch and eventually die of dehydration or sooner without someone constantly keeping it alive.if an infant wants to crawl over to the couch, or play with a toy, or ask for food, it can. a fetus has absolutely no choice but to sit in the womb and stay there.
right. and the scope of such a term changes in different contexts. you're trying to suggest because a baby can't hunt or shop for its own food it doesn't have any autonomy. a foolish take.Autonomous means you are not dependent of anyone
Duh duh me liberal American, it not this way in America so can’t be this way anywhere else.Mods need to do a better job with completely horseshit thread titles.
speaking of foolish takes, I wanted to ask an expert on such the following questionsright. and the scope of such a term changes in different contexts. you're trying to suggest because a baby can't hunt or shop for its own food it doesn't have any autonomy. a foolish take.
Unwanted future criminals dont get aborted all that often for some reasonGood.
The world is overpopulated and we don't need more unwanted future criminals. Furthermore, there are no souls involved nor consciousness.
probably, although it would make no sense, as the process of removal has already started.speaking of foolish takes, I wanted to ask an expert on such the following questions
If a woman goes into labour and decides it sucks, would that be sufficient grounds for an abortion ?
well, since you apparently work in the field, you know tragedies like that DO happen during childbirth. and no, they don't go to jail.What if the baby comes halfway out ? Can we push it back in and kill it and still not be murdering a baby ?
A baby inside the womb can move around too so it also has some level of autonomy by your logic.right. and the scope of such a term changes in different contexts. you're trying to suggest because a baby can't hunt or shop for its own food it doesn't have any autonomy. a foolish take.
no. no it's not. until birth, it's part of someone else's body, one who was already given life. they matter more.A baby inside the womb can move around too so it also has some level of autonomy by your logic.
The point is that neither the baby in the womb, nor the 2 week old in the crib, nor the 1 year old crawling on the floor, can survive without being kept alive by an adult, so your cutoff point is completely arbitrary.
well i already said i didn't care and that's because they aren't "babies"Just come out and say that you don't care if babies get killed and be honest about it.
spiders are life. grass is life. i still think it's fine to mow the lawn.This mental gymnastics about levels of autonomy is total nonsense, it's a life both inside the womb and outside, the only question is whether we should be allowed to kill babies or not.
What about a young adult vs a 90 year old woman? The young adult “matters more”, so should they have the right to kill an old person?no. no it's not. until birth, it's part of someone else's body, one who was already given life. they matter more.

so say human life. sperm is human life by the way, as is a tumor.Grass and spiders are not human life, we’re talking about human life.
Nobody has said sperm or tumors equal a human life. Sperm by itself does not equal a human life. Has nobody had the birds and the bees talk with you?no.

sperm is quite literally living human cells that continue to live outside of the human body, once ejaculated. they die shortly thereafter but they are alive.Nobody has said sperm or tumors equal a human life.

All human cells are living human cells. Congrats. Sperm alone does not made a human life.sperm is quite literally living human cells that continue to live outside of the human body, once ejaculated. they die shortly thereafter but they are alive.
Sperm is not human life until it’s combined with the egg, so no, you’re not killing babies when you jerk off and flush it down the toilet.no.

living cells are literally life. if a scientist found them shot out of a a black hole, we would say there's life in space.All human cells are living human cells. Congrats. Sperm alone does not made a human life.
Kinda goes against the whole "clump of cells" thing, eh?living cells are literally life.
