"Superhumans" and ethical concerns

Is it too late to abort Lyion?

[Tikker]

I hate the term pro-life, it insinuates that if you're not, you're pro-death.
.

Except thats true. You hate the truth.

I like the term baby killer, because it is so accurate.

/tangent on

except you're not killing a baby

you're terminating a microblastula

I'm all for scientifically engineering, it's actually why I went into biology in the first place

I'd love to be able to squash the Mindia gene

at least it's a recessive trait

I'll get the coat hanger.

Best bumper sticker of all time:

"Smile, your mother was PRO-LIFE"

Yes you are a killing a baby if you abort. A fetus has a brain, heart, lungs, nerve endings and just about everything else... just not fully developed obviously. It's a good thing you pay close attention in your biology classes.

[Jay]

Catholics and Christians in earlier times defined life as when th baby took it's first breath. Now it's when it's an embryo?

[Lyion]

In earlier times we burned non believers at the stake, too. Neither were relatively good decisions, although the more Zan posts, the more I like the stake idea.

[Donnel]

Psalm 139: 13-14

13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.

14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.

With that sense of humour you must be a real winner at the parties.

But, in the first trimester, when it is legal to abort a fetus, that so-called "life" cannot live outside the mother's womb on it's own. Therefor, it shouldn't be considered alive or a "life" of it's own. It is still a growth, like a tumor, of the mother.

"Smile, your mother was PRO-LIFE"

When I see this bumper sticker all I wish is that someone would make one that says, "YOUR MOTHER SHOULD HAVE HAD AN ABORTION." I'd put that bitch on my car and drive real slow in front of the people with the first bumper sticker!

It's all personal preference. There is no set guideline of the belief.

Damn, and I thought you were a good guy?

I bet Lyion would be a lot more interesting to talk to at a party than you. I'm just guessing though.

[Darcler]

Because he hates gays?

[Narrock]

Because he hates gays?

No, because he's cultured, and multi-lingual. Zanchief is about as cultured as a sterile petrie dish.

I'm sure he's glad he has your support Mindia.

Why, thank you sir

Vraiment? Et tout ce temps je pensais que je parlai deux langues.

[Narrock]

French doesn't count, because the French suck.

[Agrajag]

Because he hates gays?

I never said I hated gays. That may have been what many of the posters that are quick to judge gathered from my posts (like you). I just don't AGREE with their lifestyle. Disagreeing with someone and hating them are two different things.

Sorry, I was referring to your comment to Arajajerorgjsomething. You ninja posted though

And Zan is Canadian. He has to be somewhat multilingual. Fucking French....

[Narrock]

I'll bet Zan's French is only minimally-conversational, and very very far removed from being "fluent." Big deal. My Spanish is about as good as Zan's French. Oh, I know some German too.

[Zanchief]

I went to French elementary school and highschool, dweeb.

Oh that's right. I was thinking of the true hater being....and now I've forgotten. Oh, Mark. (Dont deny it Mark).

I really only skimmed that thread anyway to refrain from posting in it

Do you have one of those typical extremely annoying and unattractive French accents?
