| Unless you have the superstitious idea that "human" means something superhuman, who cares what you call it? It is not a fully-formed human. It is inside and connected to an already grown person. Society can say that you can kill fifteen-year-olds if we want to. However, it has decided that it is best for all of us to have a certain amount of respect for everyone that has been born. In fact, it has extended that respect to those-that-could-possibly-be-kept-alive-though-not-born. I think that's a reasonable line to draw. Why isn't it? |
