Quote by: another day  They haven't been born yet. They havent grown into people yet. This abstract possibility of a "human" means nothing. There are billions of real humans that already exist. These "potential souls" that you speak of are literally INFINITE, so it's absolutely meaningless to discuss them. You might as well ban masturbation because it wastes sperm which has the possibility of becoming a child. I Know that's an old argument but honestly, if you want to place that much value on a "potential life" then theres no stopping how far you go.
But what matters first is the people who already exist, the feasibility of the planet well supporting them, and the rights of those currently alive and developed and intelligent. A fetus doesn't have a sense of acute consciousness anymore then an ant does. |
There is a clear difference between these unknown humans who are sperm and egg cells, and a developing fetus.
With the fetus we are sure baring the remote chance of problems that the fetus will develop into a child.
With all the eggs and sperm plus the fact sperm are ejaculated daily by most men then thats a different consideration.
A fetus WILL have a sense of intelligence, and a mind of its own. All your doing is telling this soon to be human your not technically a humen yet so I'm going to pretend your just random goo and turn the other way while your sucked out in a tube.
