An argument against elective abortion
#10
RE: An argument against elective abortion
One thing I would like to see established is the definition of morally wrong here, the first presmise is that killing innocent humans is morally wrong but, what if killing a single innocent human could save the life of dozens of other innocent humans? To some the morally right choice is the one that causes the most overall happiness. This is shown in the "should you kill the fat man" scenario.

I don't personally see it that way but, we need to decide what makes an act moral or immoral before we can put out a blanket statement like the first premise in a logical statement.
