[quote=Anonymous]I think that's in a way, true, which is why the government--judges and politicians who just happened to be able to climb the ladder to positions of authority--shouldn't have the final say. They are just random people and cannot have the answers to these questions people have struggled with for millennia.

But I don't actually think it comes down to when life begins, I think it comes down to the liberty of a human being. Even if the thing in me that, if allowed to remain, were to be a human being, there is a thing inside of me that I don't want to be there. The government doesn't get to tell me I have to let it use my body to live. So for a lot of us, no, when life begins isn't the question. [/quote]

Exactly. No individual is allowed to use another individual’s body for survival against the will of the person being used. It doesn’t matter when life, sentience, pain, etc begins. [/quote]

Just want to say I think this conversation is fascinating. Pregnancy is so unique and interesting. It makes me have such an appreciation for our biology AND our philosophical understanding of it. I'm trying to think of any other circumstance where an individual is using another's body for survival in any kind of similar fashion and it just doesn't seem like it exists. [/quote]
