| Topic | Whether you are for or against abortion |

Then the baby is viable outside of the mother's womb from the moment of conception, because of technology. Is the zygote then considered a person because it can survive outside the mother's womb? It would still need a womb, so it can still be terminated. Artificial wombs would be a great thing, but we shouldn't use them to birth every unwanted baby on the planet. They'd be there for mothers who cannot have children normally. Plus, you still couldn't force a woman to opt in to this procedure. That doesn't even get into the fact that abortion still just makes sense from a utilitarian point of view. We have enough pain and suffering among our fully formed population. Artificial wombs might get rid of unwilling parents, but that doesn't mean we'd find willing ones. We don't need a few million more orphans just because we're hellbent on every potential life being sacred or whatever. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
