Again, this is due to your leaving -the usual assumption- undeclared. You simply must demonstrate that the destruction of the fetus is not fulfilling the responsibility one assumes upon oneself. You'll have to avoid assuming your conclusion in doing so.
"If you agree that the fetus is a moral subject, and if you agree that we have a responsibility to the subject, and if you agree that the responsiblity is thus -and not thus- - then." This idea of "remedying the situation" is one of those "thus's" - and I fail to see how the language even applies. Is a fetus the situation, how can a fetus be remedied?
Quote:If I cause a spontanous abortion in another person without their consent and the fetus is lostLOL, malpractice? What an odd question for you to ask....
You have put the fetus (subject) in a state of existence that they did not have before - that is the "situation" that you are responsible for. What actions do you suggest would morally encompass resposibility to the subject (fetus) in this situation? Again within the constraints of the arguement I have made (if you argue the fetus is not a subject then we are at a non-starter and you are adding nothing to the discussion that I am having)
regarding the malpractice-- that only applies if I were treating her in a medical capasity and not the broad sense the question was asked - sooo want to try again?
Atleast you are trying to stay on topic
