Perhaps we can compromise? Keep every embryo alive but require parents who choose not to feed their young to deliver their corpses while they're still fresh to processing plants. There they can be processed into a soylent green like product which can be used to feed the children of poor people who actually want their kids but can't afford to feed them. No one is forced to part with their property to feed anybody, those who can't afford their kids get to do so, and those who never wanted the kids they were forced to bring to term get to be rid of them.

No need to go that far. One can argue that a parent refusing to feed its child is tantamount to child abuse, which again, is a violation of a negative right.

I should point out that "right to food" is a tricky one. There is nothing inherent about humans which gives us a right to food; after all, food is something we need to seek out. However, that doesn't give anyone the right to take another person's food. There are plenty of free sources of food available, if you don't mind living on a vegetarian diet.

You are a sharp eyed computer user. (I barely press the right buttons most of the time.) I guess Tiberius has have taken your criticism to heart.

Erm, no. I removed my entire religious view so I could put "Shell B" there instead. I'm still a moral and existential nihilist. I'll add it to my signature.

His position seems so Christian. You have a god given right to be born into poverty, suffer and starve. It's kind of like having the god given right to free will just so long as you don't mind frying in hell.

Nothing Christian about it, and certainly nothing "god given".
