I don’t distinguish between human or animal, only the reasoning or rationale behind taking the life.

If there was say an alien species on the same evolutionary level as humans, would it be oky for them to have abortions seeingas they're not human?

Life isn't sacred, we kill life all the time, bacteria, plants, animals. So just because a foetus or such is "alive" doesn't necessarily grant it a right to life

I don’t see how an entirely different race of sentient beings with their own history, societal progressions, biology, etc. would seek the opinion of humanity on that.

If you can see a creature of any kind as just a clump, good for you. I don’t and never will.

It is a thought experiment, if the fact something is human gives it the right to life, then logically follows a sentient separate species could be killed all the want, even if we could hold conversations with them

I value life and it’s purpose. But death is not always nefarious. It’s a perfectly natural thing.

natural simply means it exists, given that supernatural is unproven. Logical fallacy appeal to nature

I don’t know who you’re having a conversation with but I don’t think it’s me.

The conversation on abortion was relegated to this chat

I literally said above that I don’t distinguish between human or otherwise. Life is life.

Oh, ok.

@Sengorn Leopardae It’s human.. so can I kill you, because life isn’t of value? NO! It’s immoral, a human is different than bacteria, a plant, an animal..

@SheWhoMustNotBeNamed I was a part of the conversation, but I am back to work now. You can jump in now.

Trying to nail down the exact logical argument behind exactly when abortion is valid or invalid

why is human different?

prove it, not declare it

I just wanted to make sure I hadn’t accidentally responded in lieu of someone else. 🤣

For me, conception is life.

It is life, but why does it have a right to remain alive?

we kill life all the time, bacteria are life

My body my choice ends when I choose to have sex and risk pregnancy. Should it result, it’s my “burden” to bare.

So are you saying that I should be able to kill you without repercussions

why should you not be able to?

> why is human different?
@Sengorn Leopardae The intellectual ability to create what we’ve created.

It’s not even that, you’re being obtuse by not even moving your questions to fit the flow of the conversation. There have been a couple of reasons presented but you haven’t responded to any yourself.

My practical reason for making murder of sapient humans is that it'd result in a society that couldn't trust each other or form civilization due to the mistrust. Therefore my personal quality of life would be at stake, so I want it to be forbidden

You just keep asking why.

> why should you not be able to?
@Sengorn Leopardae General morals. You’re genuinely a monster if you believe human life is at your disposal.

And I further that to any life.

Hello 👋

Also hi hi <@717034223659384934>

<@717034223659384934> Welcome 😜

The reasons are vague and unsupported, this is the Socratic method. I ask questions until we get to the absolute fundamentals. My goal is not to defend a decision, because I haven't made one yet. I know know that you can abort sometime before birth, and after fertilization.

Make sure you read the rules so you don't get in trouble

And welcome this is a great server ☺️

No one turns you in any direction darlin. All anyone can do is give you the info and you make the changes for yourself. Thank yourself too.

"general morals", that isn't a very logical solution, it is devoid of substance entirely. The epitome of "because I said so"

@Sengorn Leopardae
my practical reaons for making general murder illegal

and it doesn't apply to fetuses
