Subject: RE: BS: Mutual respect
PMB,

My point is NOT whether I was a full human at that time, but that those against abortion feel that the fetus IS human, and that they have a moral obligation to stop it from being killed. As long as they do feel that way, the idea that , since no-one is forcing them to have an abortion they should NOT object to others having them is the same argument as "If I want to kill a bunch of ( whoever- Hutu, Jews, Hindus, Moslems, Left-handed people, handicapped, fetuses), why should you try to stop me as long as I don't make you kill them?"

I do NOT agree that it is always wrong (vis brain-death) to allow humans to die: I DO think we need to be aware of what those who disagree with us think, and why they think that.
