"Not being wanted is not a sufficient reason to kill someone." What if God does not want them? You sanctimonious little twit. siliconinvestor.com

Not being wanted is not a sufficient reason to kill someone. It's sufficent reason for shaving your beard, or getting rhinoplasty. All those kill cells. You really have a pecular way of thinking (not that it is uncommon). Being wanted is probably the most important trait in the decision of whether to have a child or not. It's absurd to think that there is somekind of laudable goal in trying to maximize the number of babies born when their own mothers don't want them. TP

"Humanity of the unborn. Not being wanted is not a sufficient reason to kill someone. I have demonstrated that there is no essential difference between the unborn fetus and a child, in fact it is clear that a fetus can be older and much more developed than a child." There are some all important differences between an unborn fetus and a child. Some of them are un-discussable in company mixed with moral absolutists vs moral relativists and believers vs non-believers. For example: If you consider ensolement to be an essential characteristic of humanity, then you must determine that the fetus qualifies. It is not possible for the sake of a discussion such as this to do so. A fetus may be scientifically homo-sapien but does it qualify as a person with a soul, and if so at what point? I doubt that we can make a conclusive determination on that.
