Bogus. Any sort of killing of another human being is wrong, except for execution, which isn't murder anyway..
Double standards.(see 3rd answer from the bottom and await hypocrisy)
You sorta just proved my point. :P
I never said they can't become evil if they aren't aborted, just that it's possible they could become important to history.
So, your point is that "what ifs" are irrelevent, but still decided to bring them up anyway?
It is actually pretty dang obvious. Preventing life from being where life should be just because a parent is foolish and irresponsible is pretty retarded.
Evidently, its not obviously wrong if its argued over so much.
Also, I assume you will support a law to criminalize masturbation?
It's still the unnecessary killing of life, sentient or not it doesn't matter. They still feel pain and react to it.
Killing of all animals is unnecessary, and sentient means perception by senses so while they still recieve signals, they do not feel pain.
Now that was just downright retarded.
So are many things you say, but I am civil enough to retort it instead of insult it.
So just because humans aren't endangered we can kill each other? That statement makes you sound like a terrorist.
Then you have a skewed view of terrorist. Also I never said it was ok to kill humans, you said people say killing bald eagles and elephants is wrong and I explained some reasoning behind it.
And there is nothing to suggest we didn't. Therefore, it's not for us to judge.
Therefore its also irrelevent in decisions until we have reason to consider it.
Wow dude. Wow. The dream world and reality are so unrelated to this discussion that that statement is laughable.
Whats laughable is you dont seem to understand that a wet dream prevents life, just as abortions.
Speculations, sure, but irrelevant, no. This thread is all about opinions and possibilities, so what ifs are perfectly OK. And by the way, they can also be called examples.
This is not a philosophy thread, speculations without reasons are in fact irrelevant.
Sure, if you're talking about a foolish mother who got impregnated on accident. However, without pregnancy there would be no human race. Pregnancy is both a problem and a solution.
A solution to a problem we are not facing, and I doubt people are looking for a solution to this solution, they are looking for a solution to their problem.
Again, for a foolish mom.
Being foolish does not mean you should not seek the solution.
A good answer; but eggs will be chickens and pinecones will be trees... however, whether an embryo will survive to see the day it "becomes human" is up to the... oh wait, it's up to the foolish mom. :P
might possibly become...Hydrogen can become helium, but its not helium.
And yes it is killing, and therefore murder, which is illegal, besides this one rare case.
Executions are killing, and therefore murder.
Like I said, prevention of life is the same as taking it
No its not.
just as preventing a disease has the same effect as curing it.
Minus the permenant and short term effects.
