Re: \"Culture of Life\"
Alright, that's what your driving at. The only reasons given in abortion cases in order to justify are:
1) It's my body
2) I don't want a child
We've decided that not wanting a kid isn't a good enough reason to kill your kid. Hence why you can't through your kid in the dumpster. This is the reason for the vast majority of abortions, not the physical trauma of childbirth. However, despite the fact the number two is the main driver of the action, number one is the cited reason for its legalization.
As medical science advances, number one will disappear. We will have to debate number two.
I don't think the Schavio case is a matter of her being "partially human". Rather, in the absence of a will you usually let the family decide because they are suppose to understand her best wishes. Clearly, in an abortion case the parent is not looking after the best interests of the child.
