(this is a very slippery slope.) the second is to say: no, there is no moral ambiguity, abortion is murder. (to your credit, you exhibit this logical consistency by saying we are *100%* entitled to our own bodies, and a single cell is *undoubtedly* a human body.) but let me point out a couple scenarios that show establishing moral clarity is not quite so simple.<br /><br />in principle, i agree that we are 100% entitled to our own bodies, but the abortion ambiguity (as well as many other moral ambiguities) arises because respecting one's entitlement violates another's. in the abortion case, there is a conflict between the mother's right to her body and the fetus's right to its body, especially in cases where the mother did not consent or in cases where the mother's life is at risk. it is precisely in these cases of conflicting rights where the premise "it is in all circumstances wrong to end a life" falls apart. <br /><br />individuals are often granted the ability to violate rights in defense of their own, even to kill in defense of their right to non-bodily property. to further muddy the matter, we differentiate between moral rights and responsibilities based on age, agency, and cognition (though i would argue against the age component). for example, a toddler hitting someone is not assault, just as a fetus in an unconsenting mother's womb is not trespassing, just as most would not seriously argue that miscarriage is manslaughter or that abortion deserves the same punishment as murder (despite the slogans).smashkanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04582547922041479692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8213373530375971430.post-23576663872946684552012-10-25T02:10:22.369-04:002012-10-25T02:10:22.369-04:00Hi, I saw this through a friend's facebook pos...Hi, I saw this through a friend's facebook post. I have been forming my own "abortion thesis" for sometime, and I thought I'd respond with some brief, poorly developed points.<br /><br />I completely understand the "ambiguity" point. A lot of problems, I think, have been needlessly created by trying to wrap this problem up into a simple Good/Bad analysis. I won't shy away from the ambiguity. But I have to ask, do you have children? Can you develop the same thesis based on consensual conception?<br /><br />My take is we need to first recognize men and women have the complete right to do what they want, 100%, with their own bodies. Second, we need to recognize what a human body is. A single cell, metabolizing zygote with all the human chromosomes identifying it as homo sapiens is, undoubtedly a human body. Every human body that ever lived starts as a single cell, and all the information and mechanics to make that unique body is contained in that single cell. Who was responsible for creating that body? Not the body itself, since it was not created when it was being created (by definition). Here's the key, we need to recognize that one of the many things men and women can do with their bodies is create another body. I can't stress this enough, we can make other bodies, and when we do the game changes. I have a beautiful 10 month old daughter, and I didn't get this until she showed me that it really happens. Now once that happens, there is no guarantee of living to be 100 years old, or 10 years old, or even making it out of the womb. If a woman wants to prevent a term pregnancy, I will argue that she can, in full faith take a morning after pill not knowing if she is preventing a living human being from being created, or preventing one from living in her womb, and she would not be responsible if that zygote never made it, because she has no idea. If I turn on a machine at work and kill a man who ventured inside it, I am not a murderer, and I can honestly say I am not responsible if I am following protocol that protects human life. If I knew that Joe was in the machine, and I knew the machine could kill him, I'd be a murder by flipping the switch. That subtle difference is all it takes. A woman, too, even if knowing a fetus is residing within her can still remove the fetus by claiming she felt her life was endangered. Legally, I would not want to challenge her like some righteous inquisition. A simple signed statement would all it would take for her and her doctor to perform any medical procedure that could prevent the fetus from affecting her health and be free of any wrong doing. Rape is more difficult, but I believe there are many avenues for a woman to legally pursue. However, I believe the problem with rape is that the rapist (assumed man) who you could argue is really the one responsible for the creation of this new human who is in turn endangering the life of the rape victim, ought to be charged not only with rape but with the death of the human.<br /><br />I embrace your ambiguity, but I would add as much truth and education to the process as possible. Men and women can be responsible for creating new human life, and a woman ultimately has to decide, my life or theirs, and her decision is final.MichaelWoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07999052491199344016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8213373530375971430.post-18399481232581231642011-05-21T21:17:11.864-04:002011-05-21T21:17:11.864-04:00goodgoodsmashkanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04582547922041479692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8213373530375971430.post-29811703397469551912011-05-06T14:53:33.704-04:002011-05-06T14:53:33.704-04:00title is unrelated.title is unrelated.smashkanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04582547922041479692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8213373530375971430.post-73228369624679044832011-04-29T21:43:46.944-04:002011-04-29T21:43:46.944-04:00I was kind of hoping for some Jane Austen book ada...I was kind of hoping for some Jane Austen book adaptation insight, but then I saw these faces and then my locomotives and felt sad again.
