Five thousand years back they didn't need that. A word of the Supreme Priest would do. Or is it the progress? 1) The modern methods of abortion have only been around for a few hundred years. 2) We are at the level of "Quality of Life" where not wanting a child can even be conceived of. For most of human history it was pretty much the only thing humans could strive to do. Edited June 30, 2022 by Boges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myata Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 5 minutes ago, Boges said: 1) The ability to end a pregnancy has been around for under 200 years. More generally though, speaking of liberty from human sacrifice, adult circumcision and such. 6 minutes ago, Boges said: 2) We are at the level of "Quality of Life" where not wanting a child can even be conceived of OK. So what does that word, above mean? If you have it but not use it, perfectly fine. Only if and when you try to exercise the liberty, there's a problem?

Then we would need to address IVF, where embryos are fertilized in a lab in hopes that they can be separately implanted because natural fertilization has proved difficult for the parents. Birth Control pills prevent conception IVF is fine, as long as the fertilized eggs are preserved for future use and not intentionally destroyed Edited June 30, 2022 by Yzermandius19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but the dehumanization of a specific group of people (in this case the fetus) has been an effective method of justifying mistreatment of said groups and even murder for millenia. 2.

They haven't fully developed until adulthood usually around 25. Maybe that should be the cut off age for murder.

Goddess Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 Fetus Is Not An Actual Person Philosophy Essay (ukessays.com) This sort of helps understand both sides of the debate.

Just think of how many of living things that move, smell, feel and whatever else they do in the heartfelt description so must be "babies" - according to definition, those righteous adepts eat every day, and at times more than one (oyster babies; chicken babies, lamb babies and so on).

It is a point of fact not opinion People like you used the "not fully human" nonsense to justify slavery. You'd be pro slavery if you were alive back then. We both know that. Interestingly Margaret Sanger, left wing icon and star baby killing activist, was a eugenicist. Can see the pro baby killing folks continue to use the eugenics arguments to justify the practice.
