agree or disagree-any thoughts?

Question

from the notebooks of lazarus long-
No man is an island--” Much as we may feel and act as individuals, our race is a single organism, always growing and branching--which must be pruned regularly to be healthy. This necessity need not be argued; anyone with eyes can see that any organism which grows without limit always dies within •its own poisons. The only rational question is whether pruning is best done before or after birth. Being an incurable sentimentalist I favor the former of these methods--killing makes me queasy, even when it’s a case of “He’s dead and I’m alive and that’s the way I wanted it to be.” But this may be a matter of taste. Some shamans think that it is better to be killed in a war, or to die in childbirth, or to starve in misery, than never to have lived at all. They may be right. But I don’t have to like it--and I don’t.

i put this up because of a question asked earlier on answers-it relates to the decision to rule on whether or not a fertilized is human-

hi mike-the question is do you agree or disagree

Answer 1

I preferred the insights he offered in Starship Troopers.

I would agree readily with the phrase, “before conception”. The argument before us on abortion is weather it is that messy thing, killing, that occurs when we destroy a potential human. Where do we draw the line is a viable point of discussion. Frankly, I don’t know what the best course is.

Answer 2

My belief is that anything God chooses to allow to be ferilized is His, actually I believe He chooses which are and aren't fertilized, If you want to hear 2 songs about this that might get to your heart, kathi Troccoli sings a song from the fetus to the mom, about knowing how the mom is going to abort the fetus and the fetus says it will miss not getting to see the mom, now if that bothers you, then start researching how a fetus develops, go to babycenter.com or search it out and check out the week by week development. One of the most recent things I've learned is that by like the 12th week or earlier, those fingerprints that no one else will ever ever ever in all eternity have, they are formed about the time the mom finds out she is PG or soon after. If you disagree about any fetal development and whether it is a human, I dare you to go to baby center and look at the details listed of week by week changes !! then tell me it isn't a living creature you kill when you abort it.Tjhe other song is Glory Baby by Watermark. Listen to both of those and then tell me what you think, look up the lyrics or listen on amazon.com to the samples

Answer 3

I see the point, I think.

To die in childbirth would be a death that would have left something positive to mark my life.

I believe a fetus is a person when it is viable. Not before 20 weeks. I know 20 week fetuses often survive if born then.

Answer 4

I dont believe lazarus
