Quote by: bandaid I think that life begins when that life isn't dependent on another life in order to live. Once a baby is born, if the mother dies the baby will still live. But, until it is born or at a stage where it can be born prematurely and be kept alive by modern medicine it cannot live on its own. |
If you are removed from your natural environement, you will die also. Does that somehow mean that you are not human, or alive?
The fact that an unborn requires a certain environment for a finite period of time in no way negates the fact that it is alive.
It is dependent, but I don't seem to find legal precedent anywhere that suggests that dependence is a valid reason to kill. Perhaps you can provide a link or biographical reference to such information.
