>>In fact, I don't believe it is INDEPENDENT life until it can survive without the host mother's life support system. Whenever that moment of the fetus' development arrives, I believe it can scientifically, morally & realistically be called an independent life. Until then it is part of her private domain--her body. That really cannot withstand analysis. Using that "I don't believe it is INDEPENDENT life until it can survive without the host mother's life support system" standard, by analogy, any infant could be left to die at a parent's whim. A woman-host could argue she doesn't want some "parasite" hanging off her breasts and that by definition of its constant needs it's not a independent life. Besides that, your terminology "host" is repugnant, as it suggests, as above, that the baby is a parasite. >>Until the Supreme Court of the U.S. says it is a life from day one of conception.....it is not. The Supreme Court had decreed that black slaves were property. Did the Supreme Court's decree make blacks any less human? I assume there must be better arguments in favor of abortion, but the host-parasite-independent life argument isn't one of them.
