I do a mean mass murder on fruit and vegetables though. Murder is a human invention. [/quote] I am not suggesting abortion should be banned or made illegal. I think it is very saddening that such an act should take place, and it should be avoided if at all possible. However, this decision needs to be made by the woman who is pregnant, she should be made aware of all the alternatives supplied by medical, social and family members, but the decision to abort or not is hers. As for how far along the development of a pregnancy should go before it is deemed illegal, immoral or murder (murder meaning the foetus is an individual human being with inalienable rights) I think we can only judge day by day. By this I mean we are constantly changing our views our perceptions of this issue by new "discoveries" in science. Not so long ago a person would be declared legally dead by a medical practitioner if a mirror held up to a persons mouth did not steam up from the exhalation of breath. With the advancement of science the diagnosis of dead years later would be if the heart had stopped breathing, and so on. Morally? Heh, we are imperfect beings in an imperfect world. The best we can do is try to understand as best we can, the world/universe and our place in it and hopefully do that with love. [img]http://www.tao.serveit.org/sigs/taoboogie.gif[/img] Loading...
