Too complex philosophically to go into details, but making exceptions AGAINST life for 'convenience' always ends up with some people having absolute power of life and death over others, without regard to anything but the deciders' whim and convenience.
Better to "abort" the rot early by not allowing the toehold.
Try looking up the market in body parts of aborted babies; and look at the shutting down of that embryonic stem cell company that California had given so much money to.
The lie (much like global warming) was that "the science is settled, only the Luddites oppose this on [allegedly specious] 'religious, superstitious' grounds, but *we* the enlightened know better, and unless you want us to look down our noses at you superciliously, you'll show your open-mindedness by accepting everything we tell you to believe at face value"...
wagglebee, jeremiah: we've got a live one here.
Cheers!
I’m punching my time clock out tonight, but will be back on the job tomorrow! Thanks for the alert.
