The reference to sperm and egg is that the power to destroy is the power to create. The growth rate in the US is higher now than before Rowe vs Wade. I do understand why you are not living a contradiction. It's all about intent. You think that it is moral to play God to create life but not to play God and destroy life, regardless of probablistic "value". Your value judgement does not extend to the weighing the value of destroying a life, no matter where it is on the bathtub curve. Unless it is before conception I guess.Marco Parigihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00702055111711651319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5104479.post-1103790493827137062004-12-23T18:28:00.000+10:002004-12-23T18:28:00.000+10:00So you are saying euthanasia should be legal? Come...So you are saying euthanasia should be legal? Come clean, now. Your argument applies eqally well to that side of the curve, that was my point... <br /><br />(1) Decriminalisation leads to normalisation.<br /><br />(2) I never said things should be fair. I only said they should be harsh. Life is intrinsically unfair.<br /><br />(3) I don't want children to be left with parents who would have killed them! I want those children raised by the state, NGOs, or interested bystanders. And the parents should be sterilised.<br /><br />Your conflation of sperm, egg, and frozen embryo is frightening. I can see I will have to explicitly state my probabilistic argument, complete with a graph.Dr Clamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14985493422534275997noreply@blogger.com
