you dont even remember being a fetus
The gift of life is something I would never deny to anyone
even if that life starts in a potentially abusive situatiion
gift of life but comes at the price of bad childhood
you dont remember being a baby either but does that mean your not alive as a baby?
I would live below my means to keep that promise
i do agree however that the adoption system needs to be reworked
so the needs of a 2 week old > the needs of a fully formed human in your minds?
The most vulnerable should be protected
well i dont believe we should put the needs of one person above another regardless of age
the only time i believe abortion should be a vauable option is if it can save the mothers life
so you don't think abortion is right even in cases of rape??
two wrongs dont make a right
ok that baby could represent the outcome of a situation
the mother might not be able to look at that baby without recalling her lowest low
it's not right to look at a baby and think about that
if you cant handle the thought of that then you can give the baby to a relative who is willing to take care of it
what if you don't have a relative like that
or what if you don't want to entrust something as big as a baby to someone else
well see the problem with that is in my mind why would you not wanna hand the baby off where it could potientially live a long and successful life but instead have it killed
like how do we measure when/if something is alive?
well in my opinion
if it has a heartbeat its alive
imo, if you're a living being, then you're conscious
"The very beginnings of our higher brain structures only start to appear between weeks 12 and 16. Crucially, the co-ordinated brain activity required for consciousness does not occur until 24-25 weeks of pregnancy. We cannot say when consciousness first emerges, but it cannot rationally be called before the end of the second trimester at 24 weeks of pregnancy."
ok so consciousness defines life for you correct?
if you're a living being, then yeah you're conscious
what if they in coma lol
ok what if there is a patient in a coma
they just die for a month and ressurects

well scientifically, being alive requires 7 characteristics
