Perhaps - and maybe I read too much sci fi - but I find the (liberal) world more likely shifting into designer babies and eugenics than the other way around. The only reason eugenics fell out of favor is the Nazi abuse of the technology, but even now the discussions are beginning to creep up again. For an extra cost we already allow people to choose the sex of their children through IVF, so the next logical step is giving people more choice in the matter. As humans, perfection is never something we've chased very well, but we chase it nonetheless.

In a hundred years, I could easily imagine an ad projected on your holosquare:

"THINKING OF A NEW CHILD? COME TO 'DR. TRIP DESIGNER BABIES' FOR A FREE CONSULTATION! AND IF YOUR FETUS DOESN'T SHOW THE FEATURES YOU WANTED, WE'LL REFUND YOUR MONEY AND THE ABORTION IS ON US, FREE OF CHARGE! WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO LOSE?"
Just before the Eugenics Wars then. :coffee:

For a reader of sci-fi you sure don't understand the slippery slope eugenics is. :coffee:

Yep.


Cell by themselves are life. They obviously demonstrate the 7 common characteristics of life.

Nope. Not while it is still attached to the primary host.

And it is 34%.

91% occur before 13 weeks 98% before 20 weeks. Of the ones after, they are almost always due to medical conditions.

I agree with much of what you’ve said. My point is that not enough people voluntarily wear a mask. If they did, government wouldn’t have to interfere. We are a low and biased information and selfish culture and many will pay the price for that through future lost freedoms or their lives.
Is it ok for the government to interfere to save lives? How does that apply to abortion?

Actually, that's not true. I am opposed to abortion. But individuals who aren't born yet aren't classified as "babies." They are either "embryos" or "fetuses."
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

It is indeed a separate life. Once genetic recombination at conception is complete the individual is not just a component of the mother's body. It is a separate organism. It IS alive. And it IS a separate life. It is within its mother's body. But it is a different organism.

It is ending the life of a human offspring. The arguement here has to do with a womans choice to end the life that is growing in her body. Hillary Clinton at one point, came out and said she was against abortion, but she was pro choice.

Only you are stupid enough to believe a public university can ban somebody over a meme. I have never been banned from the university you fucking moron. I was there yesterday and Thursday picking up my friends kid from camp. I've been to numerous games and have only missed 2 tailgates.

Keep reading the Missoulian get your wife to help with the big words.......... Oh that's right she left you. Find a neighbor kid then
