Solarwave Wrote:Saerules: What is it about the first breath of a baby that is so special? Or is it that they are outside the mother? So then is it our location or the ability to breath that makes us a person? It can't be independance since a baby outside is no more likely to survive without its mother than a baby inside the mother.It's exactly like TBF just said (as far as I can see it anyway). Until the baby can be reckoned as a separate entity from the mother: it is only a part of the mother. If i have the right to cut my hair: i have the right to cut off my left hand: I have the right to stop the growth within my 'womb'.
To be honest I have no idea what I think on this issue.
I am not going to argue this though: people get too butthurt and angry over it.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
