ChocolateCitySkin Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 you want to talk about cloning and bioethical concerns thats fine. but when you're talking about the rights of a single cell ill laugh in your face all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Califan007 The Constipated Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 that argument is a pure paradox. and only functions on one level. religion.otherwise, you can make the argument that the destroyed cell gives life to the cell behind it. you're putting the rights of one cell over the rights of another to live. its a stupid asinine argument. It's not a paradox in the slightest. It's a simple question (or group of questions) that ask: - When does human life "begin" - Does human life have an intrinic value or instrumental value, or both - What role does physical appearance play in our developed value systems And a ****load of other debatable aspects of human existence you apparently have zero interest in even slightly contemplating. Far easier to chalk it up to religious zealotry and be insultingly dismissive. Gotcha. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thiebear Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 if we didn't write off foolish comments by some religious zealots it would still be the dark ages. WHY does everything moral have to be Religious crazies. How is Germany so far ahead of America when Adult stem cells were used. (we have stem cells). We should probably try harder.

ChocolateCitySkin Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 It's not a paradox in the slightest.It's a simple question (or group of questions) that ask: - When does human life "begin" roe vs. wade the courts have made that decision already. the Court defined viable as being "potentially able to live outside the mother's womb, albeit with artificial aid. - Does human life have an intrinic value or instrumental value, or both see above its not human life. seems our country has already determined that ethics question. now if you can prove to me that a single cell is viable outside of the womb then i'll actually not think your argument is purely religious fanaticism. - What role does physical appearance play in our developed value systems irrelevant non-sequitor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
