Quote by: Pale RIder Nah. In this case, it is easy. All you have to do is open a medical textbook dealing with human development. Science is quite clear on what is and isn't alive, and when a human's life begins.

What is alive and what is dead is quite hard to define. As a microbiologist and biochemist, I find it hard to define.
A cell is alive or dead, but when is a human being come alive and become dead? Is there really an inherent straight dividing line?

Quote by: Pale RIder Did the people who legalized abortion lack morals? Did the people who legalized slavery lack morals?

You haven't answered my question. Slavery was stamped out long ago for purpose of individual freedom.
We have been living for many decades now and the abortion is still accepted by the majority of society, if it weren't, it wouldn't still be legal. Does that mean the majority of us are supporter of human killing?

Quote by: Pale RIder I argue this issue because it is the larger issue. The numbers being killed in the war pale in comparison to the numbers who are being killed by their own mothers. 1.3 million per year is a far larger problem. And fewer are dying as a result of the war than would have died had saddam remained in power, so the problem is lessening already. You would prefer to go back to saddam being in charge and see the death toll rise?

If you're arguing from the humanitarian perspective, then it can be subject to alot of debate.

If you're arguing with regard to numbers, millions of children in the poverty zone are dying just because they don't have a supply of fresh water. Have you been campaigning vehemently for them as well?
