<<<Would lynching a black man be wrong if He was your property and it were legal to do it?>>> "No, but then the obvious question is why?" I am assuming from the rest of your answer that you actually meant to say "yes it would be wrong" If that's not the case then make that clear. "It is because he is self aware." Self awareness is not established until well after birth so it fails to meet even your own standard of chord cutting. By that (self awareness) criteria, it should be legal to kill any child for any reason and it would not be wrong. Would you be in favor of that? "Would turning off the respirator of a brain-dead person of any sex or color be wrong?" As it has been pointed out there is a great deal of difference between the a fetus which will (if left alone) naturally develop brain functions as it matures, and a brain dead person who has irreparably lost brain function. There is also a difference between not providing extraordinary life support measures and actively killing the person. Killing a person (even one who is brain dead) is still an act of murder. That's why Terry S. had to be allowed to starve to death slowly instead of putting a bullet (or a pair of scissors) in the back of her head. "they go to consciesness" What if you beat the black man into unconsciousness first? THEN it would be wrong?
