“1) Does DNA determine destiny or personality?”
Yes it does have an influence on both.
“DNA is just a group of self-replicating material that determine our genetic traits. Suffice it to say that what we have is a DIFFERENT PERSON, not the rapist.”
SO what. It was left there by the rapist without her consent.
“2) Therefore, killing the child is NOT self-defense because the child is not the individual. It is the one with the other DNA — the rapist.”
That’s your opinion. You know what they say about opinions...
“3) The child has a LIVING SOUL in the image of God.”
Are you suggesting that God was a party to the rape? The rapist is a living soul as well, but the woman would be justified in killing him to prevent the rape.
“4) You don’t have to be the mother of the child if you don’t want to. There are hundreds of thousands of people waiting to love and adopt the child. Most of them you need never hear from again.”
It depends on the race of the child unfortunately.
RE: Yes it does have an influence on both.
It might but not necessarily. I don’t believe that a baby conceived from rape will necessarily end up being a rapist or a bad person. UPBRINGING is even more important.
RE: SO what. It was left there by the rapist without her consent.
SO what, It is still just physical material. I have my father’s DNA, that does not make me my father. In fact, my relatives tell me that me and my father have little in common.
RE: That’s your opinion. You know what they say about opinions...
And that goes for your opinion too. And you know what they say about opinions...
RE: Are you suggesting that God was a party to the rape?
No He isn’t, but He in his sovereign wisdom, CREATED the human being. That human being is INNOCENT.
RE: The rapist is a living soul as well, but the woman would be justified in killing him to prevent the rape.
Only if the rapist attempts to rape her. You don;t go about killing every person just because you are suspicious of their motives.

This page is a compilation of life-affirming personal stories of men and women who were conceived in rape and/or incest.
Suffice it to say that an adopted child, given love and the right upbringing, can be a good, productive citizen of society.
