<At this point in time, civilized countries have an agreement that this is philosophically sound.> It should be noted: with or WITHOUT "Christian morality". DAK

"Rights are NEVER inalienable socially or politically. They are only inalienable philosophically." Don't be stupid! <<who says you have any "right of fundamental ownership of your life and your body.">> "At this point in time, civilized countries have an agreement that this is philosophically sound." Don't be stupid! The "no true Scotsman" (civilized countries) approach simply begs the question. Lots of countries have no such agreement and one cannot be logically adduced as a universal obligation from Atheism. You simply plunder the ethical assumptions of Theism and make out like they are your own. "The right to kill your egg is a right of fundamental ownership of your life and your body." <<No one "kills their egg>> "Don't be stupid" Eggxactly! So why do you keep doing it?
