Just the Facts: Life?
Posted: 04-23-04 22:12pm

Conception: a new idividual reveives 23 chromosomes from each parent. He or she is a unique individual human being, never to be repeated. Anew person has been created. Any further formation is purely a matter of growth and maturation.




Six weeks: the design of the new human person begins to show results. The cells are seething with life, the heart is beating, blood is being pumped through the umbilical cord and the whole embryo is in constant motion. The embryonic heart has 140 - 150 fluttering beats a minute - twice as many as his mother.




Eleven weeks: the baby is about 2 inches long and at 3/4 oz weighs as much as his first birthday card! With his infant like proportions and profile, this baby looks like a perfect miniature doll. But unlike any doll, he's become very expressive, wrinkiling his forehead, turning his head, opening and closing his tiny lips.




Eighteen weeks: though still a lightweight at only 7 to 8 oz (6 inches long) this baby is now complete needing only nourishment, warmth and growth. In fact infants as young as 5 months have been able to survive premiture births. Mother begins to feel fluttering kicks and movments from her little one now. There is evidence the baby hears outside noise - music, traffic, t.V, people talking and of course his favorate sound his mothers voice.




Arms and hands develope earlier than legs and feet but by two months the lines of palms and footprints are already engraved in the skin.




Some english docors had been vigorosly defending their experiments on live aborted babies after a storm of protest blew up in england when a member of parliament told the press that private abortion clinics had been selling live aborted babies for research.




Dr lawn was quoted in the camebride evening news as saying "we are simply using something which is destined for the incinorator to benifit mankind" the langham street abortion clinic admited sending aborted foetuses to the middlesex hospital (the people, may 17, 1970) a spokesperson for the clinic said the foetuses were aged between eighteen and twenty two weeks.




In the news of the world, for the same date, may 17 1970 the same man, mr philip stanley is also quoted as saying "the position is quite clear. A foetus has to be 28 weeks to become legally viable. Earlier than that it is garbage"

Yes, using aborted babies for medical research seems wrong but if we want to cure hereditary conditions & gain help in curing a wide number of others then perhaps this is not only the best & fastest way but the only way.

As to babies being this size etc at x & y ages & having 23 chromosones from each parent - all sounds so "mary poppinssy" unfortunately in the real world many of those 23 + 23 chromosones carry hereditary illnesses & even death, many carry deformities which will preven the bay being anything other than a vegetable.

Whilst the mothers (note just the mother's never the men!!) may die or be left permanently sterile or ill as a result of the pregnancy regardless of whether a healthy child is born or not.

Some of these arguments might have more validity if most human beings weren't such a waste of space.

Poopoopoo has a good point many human beings are a total watse of space - consider terrorists, child sex offenders, child abusers, those who have kids just to get #whatever it is they think they want/will/can get#, murderers, rapists, many of our (in any country) politicians, drug addicts who rob etc to support their habit, & I could go on. How about instead of culling helpless animals we start culling useless humans.

Your Sick
Posted: 04-25-04 21:17pm

You people make me genuinely sick. How dare you condone abortion in any form? Samie has made a lot of sense, yet you lot reply with your half-baked ideas and comments and expect people to take you seriously. Abortion should be classed as the crime that it is and then you people would have to accept it.

Cool Laughing Cool

Culling
Posted: 04-26-04 03:50am

Actually what I ment by that is, take all these wack jobs and prevent them from breeding, not killing their children. I personaly am aginst abortions, accept for certen reasons such as rape, or high risk problems to the mother and or child. Though I do not agree that abortions should be made past 3 months of pregnancy, unless a late find shows certen death to the mother and or the child apone birthing. But one thing is for sure, even though I am aginst it, I never turn my face to those who do it or accept it. God is forgiving, and so I will be too. It only makes you a worse person by turning your back to these people, and hating them. God does not hate anyone, no matter what. So what makes it alright for you to hate? Hate in itself is a sin! So you are sinning over a sin. It makes you no better then them. A sin is a sin. Weather you kill someone, or just simply hate someone, its all a sin. So while these ladies deside that not having their child is the best thing in their life at that point, you are sinning just as much by hating those woman. I could never see myself aborting my child, but then I don't know how I would feel if placed in the same shoes as some of these ladies. But I will be damned if I turn away from them, and not accept them for their choices. God has not turned away from them. So if you want to talk about how horrible these people are, then you need to learn how to keep your trap shut, because you are no better for sinning hatefully about them.

Well gordon, not really. It is legal and classified as not a crime and "you people" don't accept that, now do you? So, why in the world would you honestly think we would accept it if it were the other way around? Oh, I know because you are not intelligent enough to understand it.

There are so many words to describe u that im stuggling to narrow them down but ill do my best.

If abortion shoud be classed as a crime I thort discrimination already was. Isnt that wot ur doing when u insight hateful remarks upon a subject u will never experience and will never know and can never fully understand.

Learn to open ur mind and ur heart and mayb ur brain will work for more than the 30 seconds it takes u to have an orgasm

A would be obvious to anyone with half a brain (as it was to some here Exclamation ) making something illegal does not make people agree with or approve of it.

Being a narrowminded bigot & hating people simply because they disagree with you is wrong regardless of what any law says, so perhaps along with an education some of you might try to open your minds through experiencing some of lifes harder moments & choices.

I am not going to start debating but it is obviously anti human rights to “cull” anti social misfits and/or prevent them from having children. Especially using genealogy in this way to determine which babies should be aborted is not only outrageously wrong but scary when you consider who will be deciding who is social misfits and who will be misfits according to genealogy. Misfits not in the sense of theft or homicide ect but will homosexuals, blacks, religious, disabled be misfits which will be the first group to be marked for “culling”.

To say experimenting upon human beings (without anisthetic) to help mankind may not be right but necessary, well I am sure we all know where we have heard that before!

For goodness sakes of course it is against human rights. It was a joke. Although I wish there was a way to eliminate the trash from society, the fact is that there just isn't.
I have no problem with people of different religions, races, sexuality or whatever. I have a problem with idiots, criminals, abusive people, and those who serve no purpose whatsoever. Unfortunately, they are everywhere and there is nothing we can do that would not violate human rights.
But oh would it be wonderful!

Where life begins and what value it has is something that philosophers, as well as biologists and theologists, have been debating for centuries. I am very impressed that someone has been able to come to such a definite opinion, so I guess we can all stop wondering now...

If it is a human being like biology knows it is, can it be right to kill anyone from this minority group unless they are putting another human beings life in direct high possiblity of death, even then shouldn’t we try to do as much as we can to save both patients? If it comes to it an operation could be made to remove the baby from the womb which may or may not end its life
