Religion / Re: Humanists And Freethinkers: What Are Your Thoughts On Abortion? by CatfishBilly: 11:42am On Oct 02, 2017 |
johnydon22:You conveniently left out the census part. Abi women aren't counted in census again? That's by the way sha Legality does not make human, biological classification does.Within the confines of the definition of murder which is a legal construct, you have to define a human being based on the law. So, if the law says muder is the killing of a human being, you have to find out what is legally defined as a human being. Is a fetus considered a human being under the law? The answer is no. Now to my question: At what point did you become you? At birth or conception?We become human when we breathe in air for the first time outside the confines of the womb. There's a process to get to being labeled a human being. You can't pick an arbitrary point during this process and term it a human being. If that were so, all the embryo that that weren't implanted during assisted reproduction like IVF and are subsequently destroyed could be said to have been killed and the person destroying them charged with murder. That's crazy 2 Likes |

johnydon22:So, what is the legal definition of a human being? At conception or at birth? Do fetus have human rights? Do they have right to inherit property? Are they counted in a census etc? 1 Like |

johnydon22:Well, this back and forth is based on the presupposition that abortion is murder. Murder is a clearly defined term and abortions don't fall under it. As for the argument if a fetus is considered alive or not, that's an argument for another day. |

johnydon22:That's why government enact policies like the one child policy, free contraceptives, etc. The idea is to prevent the humans from being born and abortions achieve exactly that. On the other hand, whether a fetus is is considered alive or the fetus becomes alive is one debate that will continue till the end of time. Which is why the choice of having the baby should rest with the parents of the baby. Abortion is not and can never be murder. No court of law has declared it so. All we have is subjective interpretations. Every single country that has banned abortion did so out of some religious belief. Science and research have no legal basis for such laws. So, it's all he said she said. I personally, I'm pro choice. If you feel you can't give the barest minimum needed care to the infant and want to abort? I support you 100% What's the use of having tons of children you can't cater for and they end up becoming a nuisance to the society at large? 3 Likes |

johnydon22:In this scenario you painted, the hen devours its eggs due to an irresistible urge to do so. If we have humans who just get pregnant and abort due to an irresistible urge to do so, I'm sure that the person would be sent to a mental home. Now, on the other hand, induced abortion is procured when there are socioeconomic factors which make the option of choosing to have the child a poor decision. They're apples and oranges in my view. |

butterflyl1on:In everyday English, yes, but in medical circles, if you say abortion, you have to be specific. Was it spontaneous or induced. Miscarriage is not accepted. This post is in direct response to your "miscarriage is not abortion" post. |
Religion / Re: Humanists And Freethinkers: What Are Your Thoughts On Abortion? by CatfishBilly: 11:13pm On Oct 01, 2017 |
butterflyl1on:Spontaneous abortion is the medical name. A more accepted every day parlance is miscarriage. No go talk miscarriage for clinical meeting, they'll laugh you out of the room. What you regularly call abortion in medical circles is called induced abortion or termination of pregnancy. Cc Humanistme |

butterflyl1on:As animals evolve, their diet and lifestyle change. So, organs that do not support the new lifestyle are left behind. It's not a matter of wrong diet, it's a matter of useless, irrelevant diet. Why remain a herbivore when you already developed omnivorous capabilities? There's nothing unscientific about vestigial organs. Things change, as much more knowledge becomes available, descriptions change. Pepsin was thought to be the cause of stomach ulcer at a point. You're low-key using the "science has been wrong before" argument. 1 Like |

butterflyl1on:You said there's no such thing as vestigial organs, I'm just trying to correct that erroneous idea. Wisdom teeth are not "back up", they are a remnant from our days off eating a different diet. They're a nuisance. Theyre so useless that we've evolved to the point of not developing wisdom teeth at all. 2 Likes |

Religion / Re: Why Is Your God Scared Of Hospitals by CatfishBilly: 12:50pm On Sep 20, 2017 |
God doesn't reside in hospitals. I've seen enough in my short time practicing to convince me. God always shows up in ambiguous situations where it could go either way, just showing up to take all the glory like an asshole. But when the chips are down and god is invoked to break the laws of nature for a patient? God fails every time. 9 Likes 1 Share |
