All moral questions begin with interest. I disagree. As a fetus I had no interest; I had no moral judgment; As a newborn you also had no moral judgement. Tim

Very presumptuous and prone to EXTREMISM to the point of either ignorance or simply lying to make your point. You said, "Someone earlier mentioned that they believed they had been granted Dominion (sovereignty, absolute rule) over everything. I don't know what you believe, but this belief would certainly justify ripping out a fetus and letting the mother die; And perhaps someday our society will value youth so highly that this will seem justifiable." Whoa wait just a minute here bub. You attribute a great deal to my beliefs that simply aint true. First, I never said I alone had been granted a right or power that was not shared universally, as you imply. Secondly, all creatures have rights over me and I have the responsibility to educate my self on the things that would contribute to the well being (not harm) of all creatures. Even my own body which houses my soul has the right to recieve proper nutrition, rest, and healthy stimulation. Dominion in the sense that I have portrayed it comes with the responsibility to influence the well being of others and stand against harm that could come to other creatures. I made that clear earlier. You are guilty of misrepresenting my statements to serve your own purposes. Not at all decent of you sir.
