For Sale: Baby parts

[jellowrestling]

If body parts from babies are valued enough to sell or donate..it stands to reason that sooner or later, some mothers will be pressured to kill them before they're born.

No it doesn't. Don't be ridiculous.

And again, it is tissue not parts. Tissue is a component...parts are sub-assemblies. Lordy, I don't know which is worse, your reasoning or your composition skills.

You are not a philosopher, a gentleman, well-reasoned or, as far as I am concerned, welcome here.
You are a troll. There is no "ignore" feature on this board, but I will no longer read or respond to your arrogant, abusive posts.

Correction: there is an "ignore" feature (see thread). Done.

Or in trade for a Lamborghini ?

yep Lamborghini , and what was it , something about getting away from a CHRUNCY way of doing things so there was less chance of causing damage to the Body Parts . Something like that .

[BigTex]

You misunderstood.

She never said Lamborghini. She said linguini.

What I have trouble with is the concept that a woman would
choose to kill her child. What's done after that is pretty much secondary in my opinion.

Yes. It should only be considered when there are nothing but bad choices.

But I can't say that I or anyone else can take away from any woman
her right to make a choice esp when I am unable to counteract any of those choices.
That is not very well said and I can do better.

For a wonderful essay that says very nearly what I believe was written by
novelist Elizabeth George. Find it here http://elizabethgeorgeonline.com/electi ... choice.htm
You can debate her position. I am of the opinion that no one I have seen at
Txdigest can make a better case.

I have little doubt that five or six of the more outspoken members will think they can
... and some might even try.

She makes a strong point about embryos. However, she skips over the whole concept of "viable fetus", not to mention the "baby parts" we have been discussing. Thus, she creates a false syllogism as the basis of her argument, by implying that only the "born" qualify as "life".

I've been thinking..why can't we have "Planned Childhood."

Let's say you come to the conclusion that mom and dad just aren't viable as parents.

You could chop them up and sell off the parts!
