Lorrie. I speak of principle. Were we to accept the principle extant in your statement, laws can be made on its basis that threaten anyone who depends upon anyone else. And there would exist no logic that could possibly remove the threat. Indeed abortion represents a serious threat to humanity, a claim against the lives of everyone now living. Now of course you may claim the threat is merely philosophical. Nevertheless these threats matter. They matter because all human action resulting of cognition rests upon some philosophical basis-- even if it is pure barbarism. It is no mere isolated matter that human/cow cloning is even now cavalierly taking place without much regard for moral/ethical consequences. This as well as euthanasia are linked with Abortion. Abortion serves as the basis upon which arbitrary and convenient valuations of human life exist. Once you accept the philosophical barbarism of abortion, all manner of utter barbarity is made possible. The thing will simply not stop here. Truthfuly, it is too late already. It is impossible that "scientists" will stop themselves. They have no reason to stop. And there is no reason to stop a mother from killing a child that is minutes from birth. There is no reason to stop the murder of a child that has just been born, and there is no reason to outlaw killing a two-year old or a ninety year old. The vector of death arbitrarily points to whomever it wills.
