Abortion is murder
by Secular India on Aug 04, 2008 06:36 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Human life is created as soon as an egg is fertilized ... the 20 month old foetus has as much right to live as a 20 year old person, sick or otherwise. Abortion must be banned in the country . This has nothing to do with any religion but pure extension of logic that humans have no right to take away the life of another unless that individual's existence is threat to other human beings ( like someone who has committed murder or is an enemy soldier threatening lives of our citizens)

I don't know if to agree or disagree with u but medical science should be given a chance and The govt of India should bear all the expenses as such childs may require complicated surgeries the bill generally runs into crores in super speciality hospitals of mumbai and delhi.

"Human life is created as soon as an egg is fertilized"

How clever. A single cell embryo as as gloriously human as my skin cells and hair cells are. Should I stop shaving in the morning because all cells are sacred?

what are you saying ? you have not even understood what was written. Removing dead cells is not the same as killing human beings.

No, you're defining embryos as full fledged people, though they're just cells. By *your* logic skin cells are people too. The conclusion is silly, but it's your position that leads to it.

By the way, a 20 week ols embryo is just not one cell. Its got all structures like you have in your body. Remember they identified "heart" problem at this stage.
