[QUOTE]Originally posted by Shik: [QB] Regarding this whole "abortion" thing...doesn't it come down to how one defines "life?" Let's swing this around to the other end here. You're 90 years old. You've had a stroke. A MACHINE is breathing for you. There's negligible brain activity occurring. You are, for all intents & purposes....an eggplant. Now, in my personal beliefs, simply having functioning organs tain't life, chill'un. Somethin' needs t'be going on upstairs in the way of thought & there needs to be an expressiveness. Last time I checked, one cannot learn or "live" by said definition inside an ovarian Bastille, & I don't think there's much brain activity other than simple regulation going on in the womb...so by my definitions, I would NOT call that "life." Similarly, I don't see being the mental equivalent of a salad as being "alive." There needs t'be something THERE there. And don't give me any of this "fingers can wiggle, they can move, heart's beating" shit. The heart still beats a short time after death, too. [/QB][/QUOTE]
