Pandoras genetic box has been flung open and I am uneasy about what that means for our future.

Old people are potential corpses; But they don't have the status of corpses, right?? What do you think? Is an old person the same as a corpse? Can I experiment on them?

My sperm is a potential old person and a potential corpse (actualy many o ftem). Are my sperm living humans? Do they get to wear a graduation hat or to join the military? Can we treat what is on the basis of ther infinite possibilities that might be??

Abortion is a somber decision. It is a decision to end a potential human person. It should not be trivialized by dogmatic aBSOLUTES. If you bury me here instaed of there you snuff out existence. Life is a wheel not a coin toss.
