We took medical advice straight away. Luckily someone spotted it very early on and we push for help and are lucky enough to have medical professionals who have helped push too.
Those examples are of people without access to medical care that could have prevented those extreme disfigurements. The type of religious person that denies medical treatment is more like witchcraft in my mind. I have no understanding of that kind of thing.
I have JW friends. They explained their reasoning for not accepting transplants. Totally spurious in my mind.
I'm trying to think of something I do have moral ideas on... say abortion (I think abortion is killing after conception)... I don't think I have the right to tell anyone what to do with their body. Say I was the woman... I'd be swayed by a lot of things and make a decision given information received... I would hope I could go either way in the final decision.
hmm interesting post.
so in regards to your final point are you saying that you are against abortion, yet would allow a woman to do so if that was her wish?
do you not think that if it is wrong and you believe it to be killing full stop then you should be outraged by a woman making such a choice?
maybe i've misunderstood your post but that's the flaw in logic i see.
either way i can see where you're coming from
