There are many ways to philosophically argue against a 'life begins at fertilization' position. I don't know why you feel the need to assume things that were not said.
- DoreenMichele 9y agoTo me, this is not a philosophical argument. That is the de facto outcome of such a position. If you call it murder to end a pregnancy at any stage, as the GP does, then women are hostages of a life not yet able to survive on its own.
- ksk 9y ago>To me, this is not a philosophical argument. Why? Determining what is and isn't life is based on human reasoning, judgement, and morality. Have you found an alternate approach that was somehow missed by everyone else? :) >If you call it murder to end a pregnancy at any stage, as the GP does, then women are hostages of a life not yet able to survive on its own. Perhaps you missed the stem cell therapy treatment context that was being discussed. We're only talking about embryos, not pregnancy.
- DoreenMichele 9y agoIs there some new fangled means for embryos to grow into babies that don't involve a human womb?
- ksk 9y agoDo you concede that the definition of a human life involves philosophical reasoning? You began by assuming something that nobody had said AFAIK. Then you started on another tangent about pregnancy and abortion rights, now you're onto something else. Sorry, I don't have the time to respond to your off topic comments.
