They eat dogs and cockroaches. I know. I've been there and seen it.

Their opinion matters not.

There’s a lot of Christian pro-lifers in South Korea. Your blanket condemnation of all Koreans is counterproductive and needlessly offensive.

Yhose gigantic Korean Christian churches better get on the offensive and back their Catholic brothers up on protecting unborn children.

If not a human person, what is the unborn child? Tissue?

“Their opinion matters not.”

It does for them ... but I’m sure they would feel the same way about your opinion of their internal decisions.

So a kid born with a c-section is not human?

South Korea already has one of the lowest birth rates in the world.

Korea's Birth Rate Hits All-Time Low

There are going to be a lot less Koreans around.

“There are going to be a lot less Koreans around.”

Nope according to your source there will be .15% more of them around ...

... so they only need to prepare by making sure they have .15 more schools, roads, hospitals etc.

...and from the amount of buiding going on over there it looks like they will exceed .15% capacity, so thier kids will have less crowded schools, housing, transportation etc.

My dad served in Korea, and says that when a baby is born, they are considered one years old at birth. When we had a Korean guest over our house last Christmas, he mentioned this (I guess to show he is knowledgeable about Korean culture--he was name dropping, and telling anecdotes all night) and she agreed.

So, how does this ruling occur? A "enlightened" liberal activist Korean judge "rescuing" the "old way", "oppressed" Koreans from their "backward" culture?

They finally delivered the baby through Caesarean section, but the child had already died from brain damage.

By saying that something "had died," aren't you admitting that it was previously alive?

The baby died on its own in the mother's womb; the midwife did not kill it.
However, she gave advice which may have resulted in the baby's death. If the mother had consulted a physician instead of the midwife (practicing medicine without a license?), the mother might have been able to save the baby by having it earlier through Caeserian section.

Amazing. It's illegal to abort something in South Korea that's declared not a human being. Bizarro world.

Or not....

Monday morning quarterbacking ?

Would you FORCE every woman to see the doctor you have obviously provided to everyone in the world ?

This case pushes a lot of hot-buttons, but there is no claim that the midwife caused intentional harm to anyone. The question is whether she, as a medical professional, negligently disregarded commonly accepted standards of care. The article does not speak to that.

This case did not make new law; it just didn’t change the standing law. It couldn’t. It’s the wrong case for it.

A birth rate of 1.15 does not mean that the population is going to increase. In order for a population to remain stable, its women need to have an average of about 2.1 babies each. The American birth rate is about 2.09, higher than most industrialized nations.

Sub-replacement fertility
