I agree with Vice on the fetus thing. It’s alive, but it’s not conscious. It’s just an empty shell, like someone on life support. No brainwaves or anything. I mean, we kill plants all the time and they are “living” too in a sense, right? But we kill them anyway. Unless a piece of grass begs me not to kill it by stepping on it, I’ll still step on it anyway.
You can’t honestly be arguing a fetus is comparable to someone on life support. I hope you see there’s a major difference between the two…
What you have to prove is that fetuses aren’t humans that deserve rights yet, and instead of doing that, you simply assumed that to be true and ranted on with that as a given. That doesn’t work in logic, sorry. You’re basically saying fetuses aren’t humans because fetuses aren’t humans.
Your implicit argument is that because fetuses aren’t conscious, they aren’t humans. However, that’s only your definition of human, and it’s not fact. See where the issue arises? Plus, it’s flawed. You tried to compare a fetus to someone on life support. The reason their (someone on life support) right to life is given up in some cases (some states still don’t allow the plug to be pulled) is not because they’re unconscious and incapable of making a decision then, but because they are going to remain unconscious and will never be able to make that choice. A fetus is entirely different in that, given enough time, they eventually will be conscious and will be able to choose for themselves.
