| I had to choose "other." "Life" is a matter of degrees, not a black and white issue. Of course there are few such issues. Is a sperm alive? Mostly not, but it does have elements of life to it. The fetus? More so, especially as months go on. I'm met far too many of the elderly in the nursing homes I visit who qualify less as "life" than other stages in the process.
I feel it's the wrong question. Do we have the right to take life? I believe, "Yes, with extreme limitations." I respect those who disagree although it's almost impossible to live without doing so. When, who and how do we take it, if we must? That is the more valid question. |
