The concept of not viable is really kicking your ass.
If I accepted viability as a standard of when it is okay to kill a human being and when it is not, then I would be forced to conclude that it is okay to kill a 1 month old since it cannot survive on its own.
I try to be consistent in my positions. I used to be pro-capital punishment but then changed my position on that because it didn't jive with my view that human beings should not be allowed to choose to kill other human beings.
