Another default is the ten commandments.
Maybe for you but that's not universally of value. We still have freedom of religion in the US.
The default is you do not believe that every human life starts at moment of conception.
More precisely put is that a clump of cells is not a person. Persons have legal standing. Clumps, regardless of their nature, don't.
You deny science facts the we know today.
There exist no science facts that prove that a collection of cells constitute an entity let alone that the entity has legal standing.
You say men can define some relative definition of life to skirt thou shall not kill.
Words, having been defined by people, have meaning . Were you to run over a zinnia with your lawn mower, you could be said to have killed the zinnia. Were you to open a packet of zinnia seeds and one got destroyed, you would not be said to have killed a zinnia. Because, even though it has zinnia dna, it is not yet a zinnia. It's too bad that it was destroyed but that's not considered a zinnia killing. {More so, were said seed still forming on a zinnia plant, not yet fully a seed, and you broke it off before it were a viable seed, you would even less consider calling the breaking off a zinnia killing.}
You are not thinking critically. Your views come from some other place. If you want to argue that all human clumps must be retained and brought to life, you need a more cogent argument. Your view is an emotional one, not a scientific or rational one. Emotional positions call for softer arguments. Religion is a softer argument but no religion is universal. Maybe something along the lines of lost opportunity.... |
