The question is at what point the fetus becomes alive and how comfortable someone is with killing/extinguishing this life/potential life.
I've been reading pro choice and anti abortion arguments and aparently even the presence of a brain doesn't guarantee the fetus is consious and alive.
On the other hand you have to think that at some stage before the birth the baby is what you'd class as being alive and not necesserily just potential life.
I can see why it's an interesting topic to some people but not really to me. I did find out that a fetus isn't necesserily considered alive, so I've learned something new there. I'll remember that for the next time I get into an argument with my friends about fetuses.
I'd be careful with this one. A fetus is alive at all times. When you talk about the fetus being alive, I think you are really talking about personhood, a philosophical concept about what attributes classify a being as having a certain amount of intrinsic worth.
I could have misunderstood, I'd just hate to see you start telling people that fetuses are not alive when you really were trying to have a discussion about personhood.
Indeed it's always alive but it's not just personhood either .Because even a person would not be permitted to live inside someone against there will . And no regulated abortion is not the same thing. And no one wants to violate it's bodily autonomy it just can't be in hers.
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
