Whether or not you call it life is another thing. And whether or not you think by calling it life it deserves something is a whole other issue (I call it life, I don't think it deserve anything), which is actually the one you're arguing for, right? Because you think that if life begins at conception, it should have some sway in the decision, correct? So what is it you think this embryo deserve?
You want my opinion on what I think is ethical??
Every situation is unique. It isn't possible to say either way. I trust that people weigh up the pros and cons and make the right selection. All I add to the mix is that human life begins at conception (P). That your choice should take that into account.
What is my position on IVF? I think every situation is different. Considering P is necessary.
Maybe all of those choices you've given examples of are changed slightly when factoring P.
That's my position.
I think it deserves however much the mum is going to give it. Which is the case all the time. Except when she isn't able to get an abortion.
Also, while I'm thrilled that you came up with shortforms for both my username and the term "life at conception" (because you say this so so much), i'm less thrilled that you used the same letter.
Please stop saying life at conception as if it'll change anything, just say what you think it should mean.
