- Luc 16y agoSince it's such a loaded subject, I'd want to consult the philosophy literature on the subject. I don't think I'd make a good choice without giving it a lot of thought. With my bets hedged this way, my feeling is that the mere potentiality of the future existence of a person is not enough to condemn the abortion of undifferentiated clumps of cells.
