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
what defines life in your opinion?
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
