Question for those who think abortion is not immoral

Would it be immoral for a woman to sell her aborted fetus to a pedophile for use as a sex toy? This is a serious question.

Nothing like a 3 inch undeveloped fetus to get a man all hot and bothered.

For the sake of argument, let's say not much. She does not be using the money for any necessities.

Lets assume we can put morality on a sliding scale. Selling the aborted fetus so a pedophile can use it, is a magnitude worse than aborting it.

I think that the pedophile having sex with the fetus is wrong because the fetus was a part of the woman. Whether it was a life or had a soul is irrelevant. If I lost my kidney to some disease and it had to be removed, then I would not want a pedophile to have sex with it. Simply because the kidney was once a part of me, just like the fetus was once a part of the woman.
Your shock value was a little over the top, but it made sense, if you're throwing the fetus in the trash then why not let some guy have sex with it like he would a discarded watermelon.
I view the selling of the fetus to the pedophile to be on par with selling your heart transplant for herbal tea when it could be used to save human lives. But the stem cell debate is a whole different thread.

Interesting attempt to trap people.

Anyway, the correct answer to your question is that it is wrong to sell anything to a pedophile that will reinforce his or her pedophilia. The reason that you don't want to condone pedophilia in general and to a pedophile specifically should be obvious: it makes it more likely that someone will become a victim of the pedophile.

Of course the fetus would fall under the "anything" category here. And it would be immoral, but for the reasons above, not because there is something that distinguishes selling the pedophile an aborted fetus from selling him or her something like say pornography that depicts incest (even if fictional).

Now another question that might be posed is this: should an aborted fetus be made available to scientists to conduct research that could be used to save lives? I think the answer to that question is clearly yes for reasons that should be so obvious that I need not spell them out here.
