The Taliban think they are not "uncaring."
By their definition and world view they aren't, you would agree.
But since I think suffering is bad and defining a fertilized egg as a "person" is magical, irrational thinking, religious in nature, I think that those who seek to force their magical, sectarian definitions on others at great cost in human suffering are perpetrating evil in the world and so I have no respect for them. I don't respect people whose definitions of things are imo notional and who then proceed to force others to live by them, causing great and hideous suffering.
I think we should force others, as a society, to leave us alone, even if their ethics tell them to steal from and assault us.
I don't think we should force others to define things notionally, according to our notions, and suffer for the definition.
I understand the slippery slope argument. Which has to be about possible future suffering to have weight. The slippery slope argument is all that makes this position not utterly disreputable, imo. It doesn't weigh enough in this case to outweigh the predictable suffering at this place in the landscape.
A fertilized egg can be defined as an umbrella, it still doesn't keep the rain off. |
