Should Abortion be Allowed?

[Galaxiom]

ISo if the parents are scuz-buckets does the embryo have lesser value than if the parents are respectable, healthy members of society? If so, how can this be accounted for if the embryo is simply a clutch of cells?

Most definitely. The embryos were screwed from the beginning by the genes they inherited (I also knew two of the worthless grandparents), damaged by the drugs the mother took during pregnancy then by the attitudes of the parents.

My conclusion that the children had no future was confirmed by observation.

Rocked by that count - so a quick sidestep and in for the clinch.

Ding Ding , End of round 45.

Thankyou for trying to explain your position.

However, even though you are invoking existentialism you continue to project your personal values as "the nature of the human mind".

Moreover the propositon that humans judge upon the potential does not automatically extend to everyone automatically considering the potential of the embryo as something that justifies its preservation.

Some would see the potential as another human on an overpopulated planet and another child to a family that cannot support itself already.

Indeed I know of families who parents are such miscreants that it was a great shame the embryos were not all aborted. The children are all drug damaged from birth, worthless antisocial burdens on society. I would be surprised if the eldest is not already in jail, just like his father

Some truth in your post, in that vein, Gal let me give you a definition of Grand Kids: It’s the reward you get for not having killed your kids.

I would argue that your frustrations with them, quite rightly, derive from their disinclination to consider their potential, whether harmful or beneficial, upon themselves or others, and act upon it accordingly. Further compounded by them forcing this trait upon their offspring either directly through chemicals or through gradual nurture.

It is a near endpoint of the decision to dismiss forward thinking.

Has it really been that laborious? I'll think I'll stop and wait for the points decision.

Who would set the standard for 'worth' and what is an acceptable affliction, trait or disease? There is a huge list of diseases which are hereditary, so these people would not "deserve" offspring?
