Correction: Greater-than signs. :3
Correction: I actually meant carat.
Correction: I believe carats are ‘^’. :3
“NOTE: Because this article automatically translates code into HTML, special symbols ? ? are used in place of HTML carats (greater than and lesser than symbols without the underline; see the HTML code tutorial at the bottom of this article). When writing HTML, always use carats.”

You’re barely an adult. You’re still a teenager.
I’m a legal adult with mod powers who is extremely annoyed both by your challenging of my (undeniable) maturity and your frequent grammar mistakes. Fortunately for you, there are no grammar mistakes in that post, and I’ve decided to let you off easy as a result.

Joaco said: I don’t get this, where are the following functions defined?:
frontIsClear() – probably boolean
facingEast() – probably boolean
facingWest() – probably boolean
turnLeft() – probably void
frontIsBlocked() – probably boolean
move() – probably void
turnRight() – probably void
noBeepersPresent – probably boolean
turnAround() – probably void
etc.?
Or are them in the libraries stanford.karel.*?
(which I cannot find)They are. I did that back in my Computer Science class 5 years ago.
Chameleon said: K so… this might just be because my class has been studying utilitarianism, but what about children that have defects (genetic or whatever) that would significantly reduce the quality of life for both the child and the parents? Just… putting that question out there. ^^”It’s kind of hard to call that before birth. Plus, that’s very similar in logic to euthanasia which isn’t allowed.
Vicelin said: Really, which direction are they in? That’s how far I live from Baltimore xDIt’s true…the crowds at anime/manga conventions grow in idiocy each year. But think of all the things you’ll be missing if you let them get in your way! D:
The gamers room…the rave…the live concerts (I still remember the L’Arc en Ciel concert from ’04…and The Indigo…and MarBell, and The Underneath *-*)…24-hour screenings of anime…and my personal favorite, the dealers room
Besides, Otakon is so huge that there’s no way you can feel singled out or embarrased.
I haven’t visited them in years. I just remember going to Baltimore and it being about 30 minutes away.
That’s actually not too far from me. I have cousins who live 30 minutes from Baltimore. I also like anime. However, I don’t think I could get myself to go to an anime/manga convention both because of embarrassment and because the great majority of people who frequent such events piss me off.
Vicelin said: In that sense of “right to life”, as it is defined by the law, then yes, I think that it should apply to unborn children who have developed the nervous system, unless there are circumstances discovered at that point which threaten the life of the mother, or of the fetus and mother simultaneously.Chameleon said: But what about before the embryo develops a nervous system? Is it then alright to have an abortion done at that early stage, because by our assumed definition of a “human being”, that stage of development would not be included?In my definition, yes, it is fine to abort a fetus prior to a functioning, developed nervous system.
As for that “gray area”, we’ve pretty much agreed that there is no way to -exactly- know when a fetus becomes a human being, so we’ve mostly just been debating based on a hypothetical situation (my definition of when a fetus becomes a “person” becoming the law).
So I think we can agree that in regards to abortion in a simple case where the mother wants to get rid of the baby, it should be legal before the point where fetus becomes a human and illegal after wards. I think everyone can agree to that. Legal precedent is going to disagree with your definition (people in a vegetative state still have rights, and their life can’t be taken without their permission according to the Supreme Court), so, realistically, if ever the government was to get around to defining such a thing, it’d probably be a bit before where you draw the line. That is not to say that you don’t have a case (or that the Supreme Court was absolutely right in their earlier decision).
The much more difficult issues are the ones you brought up. 1) When the mother’s life is in danger and 2) when both lives are in danger. In situation (1), you’ve essentially got 2 people who effectively have to kill the other to live. The only other comparable situations I can think of legally generally decides on person the aggressor and one person the defender, with the aggressor’s actions being illegal and the defender’s positions being legal. However, both people are legally equal in this situation.
In situation (2), it’s similar to situation (1), except one party has the potential to die no matter what. Again, though the same situation arises. Both of these issues are complicated by the fact that it’s only a chance of danger/death, not certain death.
Chameleon said: But what about before the embryo develops a nervous system? Is it then alright to have an abortion done at that early stage, because by our assumed definition of a “human being”, that stage of development would not be included?That’s Vicelin’s personal definition. All of this is building up to show that everything depends on where you draw the line between organic mass and human. If you accept that everything after the line should be illegal, and everything before it should be legal, then it becomes clear the real issue is where that line should go.
