I wrote a short novel (Evil Interrupted) dealing with the issues underlying the new perspectives which embrace exploiting embryo-aged people and exploiting cloning technology. I tied it into the abortion industry and exploitation of females (using their organs without consent). There is zero market for this revelaing approach. I would love to see a movie of the story and I think people would pay to watch it, but the perspective is not the PC one governing our current society.
Yet these same people who call for murdering undesirable children scream loudly when murdering adults are on death row?
Have you seen the move The Island?
What you describe sounds similar to the themes in this movie.
Nope, I’ll have to google it. I don’t go to movie theaters.
The cult of death wants to kill at all age groups--and without pause.
If the Dems win the White House and expand to a working majority in the legislature the death cult will have great opportunity to expand.
John McCain is a RINO but I have to vote for him in the general to stop what would happen as outlined above.
It’s a bit gruesome in parts, but I was really surprised to see a movie with pro-life themes like this come out of Hollywood.
Another goody we came upon was Children of Men.
Eventually we will return to the Roman notion of the Paterfamilias as being all powerful within his family, legally deciding on life or death for family members, Only now substitute first, doctors, then the State as the new Paterfamilias.
I just looked at the movie site and watched the trailer. I don’t think it’s too close to my story. Law And Order: SVU did a sneaky off-shoot of the story with one of their episodes and I suspect they lifted the idea from the short story version I posted at FR a few years back through RJayneJ’s site, but the full story seems to be too much toward reality than is desired.
My anthology “Humanity’s Edge” has a dozen short stories on how genetic engineering, cloning, and nano-tech will challenge what it means to be human. What happens when those we create are less than human, despite our desire for them to be more? What happens when those we create become more than human, and see little use for us in the world? Or the rival creations fighting over limited resources in a world sans “real humans”?
This author is both at the same time making good points and showing an incredible amount of foolishness.
If, it’s as he says, that infanticide has gone “mainstream”. Then the solution would no longer be making “devastating intellectual arguments”.
At that point the only rational response would be to take up arms, not to “update our arguments”.
You don’t making devastating logical arguments against Hitler’s Auschwitz, you storm the beaches of Normandy and you put an end to it.
Now violence is of course always the last resort, but last resort still means it is a resort when all other options are exhausted.
Our duty to defend the innocent against slaughter doesn’t entail just making intellectual arguments, it entails at the very end, when all other options fail, to defend them with our lives if need be. And if there ever came a day when infanticide is accepted, that’s be the day to stop making arguments and start fighting.
The leading contender for the DEMONcRAT presidential nomination supports infantacide. While an Illinois senator he voted FOUR tmes against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act, intended to protect the born alive victims of botched abortions. He even said that he feared the law would undercut the legal rational for Roe vs Wade.
Replace nano-tech with genetic modification (viral, for example) and it could happen by accident today.
The Republican slogan, in practice, has been "Vote Republican! We'll only sell out conservative values 99% instead of 100% like the Democrats!"
Personally, I don't get bought for a penny per dollar of value.
And thus won't, for example, be voting for McCain.
Voting for him would only serve to remake the Republican party in his ghoulish image.
As a n00b trying to discourage conservatives from voting, I’d say you’re not to be trusted yet. You have the scent of agitprop upon you. McCain is definitely pro-life and always has been. He has other flaws but this is not one of them.
Now that Christianity (real Christianity) has been marginalized in Europe and at least among the elites in this country, pagan values are back in the drivers' seat.
Wrong, Sherlock.
From 1999:
"I'd love to see a point where it is irrelevant, and could be repealed because abortion is no longer necessary," McCain told the Chronicle in an article published Friday. "But certainly in the short term, or even the long term, I would not support repeal of Roe v. Wade, which would then force X number of women in America to [undergo] illegal and dangerous operations."
That is the real McCain, and he is the same as he was then.
You have just confirmed that you are here to be an agitprop. You have completely discounted the likelihood that John McCain has a different notion about how to end abortion on demand in this nation. But you have done this discounting in the most negative, divisive way you know how (or your handlers have determined is the most divisive). You have zewro creds to prove you are even remotely pro-life, so far. So, piss off, dweeb. We don’t need your ilk herding us around the way the democrats need their sheeple drivers.
