And should we have the right to kill our elderly parents when they get old an inconvenience us? If the husband dies when the child is three, should they be allowed to kill their child?
And also, what of the father? If you want fathers to start taking responsibilty don't remove the choice aspect from their life. The child was created by two. I do know of a women that aborted AGAINST the will of the father who would have been prepared to rear the child alone. How is this tolerable in a humane society. The father was left with the grief of losing a child to a vindictive woman who then left their marriage.
It cuts both ways. At the moment it's all "The Womans choice" so of course prospective fathers are less careful. [/QUOTE]Let's try this. When do you feel a human being is created, Yorick? At what precise moment? When sperm meets egg? [/QUOTE]Yep. When the egg is fertilised. When life begins.
When does a seed become a plant? [/QUOTE]Fine. What if there are twins? Triplets? Do two or three souls get crammed into the zygote? And this isn't tongue in cheek, I'm dead serious. Do they split off? What if they don't? What if there's a miscarriage or an abortion, what happens to the souls? Do they go to heaven, or are they reincarnated someplace else? I need to know what you think about these things before we can go further.
