I asked this elsewhere, but I'll ask the same question to you: Do you think it is a private health matter to abort a fetus after 40 weeks of gestation, that is 100% normal, 100% viable, and poses no abnormal risk to the mother?
- trasz 4y agoDo you think parents should be forced by law to donate their organs for transplant when necessary to save their kids? Because it's the exact same situation.
- googlryas 4y agoNo, it clearly isn't. There is no taking of organs. It would be merely removing the parasite from the body of the host. And from a practical perspective, how exactly are you getting rid of a 40 week old fetus? You need to effectively give birth to get rid of it, regardless of whether you kill it or let it live.
- trasz 4y agoFrom an ethical perspective there's no difference between forcing someone to donate their body to a fetus and a transplant - both are violations of bodily autonomy.
- googlryas 4y agoBodily autonomy doesn't exist, I'm not sure where this idea has come from. If it did exist, prisons wouldn't exist because they are fairly clearly a violation of bodily autonomy.
- trasz 4y ago“Life from birth” doesn’t exist, but we know well where that fringe theory originated. Bodily autonomy is one of the fundamental human rights: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodily_integrity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodily_integrity
