Better Restated Abortion Question

I've seen some posts in here comparing fetuses to toenails and deeming the fetus-preserving machine to be some kind of a supermachine that can magically turn any skin cell to a human being.

C-

It's unfortunate you missed the point of the analogy, your comment on it would be helpful. ( note- fetuses weren't being compared to fetuses...sigh, and skin cells to fetuses is far from magic).

The OP created an arbitrary condition "we can keep it alive and nuture it's growth" as having key significance in an abortion debate. The "we can create fetuses, too. What rights would they have?" which is what the skin cell situation raises is meant to challenge the very off-the-point "super incubator" way of looking at abortions.

As you can see from other posts, including your own, "Rights" are an issue, certainly a very fundamental issue. To pretend that assisted viability of whatever sort is 'THE' premise or even a meaningful premise to work from is like talking about rabbits in a room full of wolves.
