36. Yes, you are adjudging in a responsible way . . .
Edited on Wed Nov-26-03 11:45 AM by Jane Roe
based on the photographic evidence. That is a good thing and a responsible judgment which I respect (unless your wife disagrees).

The key to responsible choice-making here is to look at ultrasound pictures of the Z/E/F to potentially be discontinued around the time it is to be discontinued. These things grow and change, so a contemporaneous picture is the only way to fully understand the implications of one's dis/continuation decision on a case-by-case basis.

Of course very few people will be intellectually impacted by pictures of a zygotic cell cluster or even of a mere seed. As things get closer to birth people's individual judgments of their own individual responsibilities begin to diverge a bit more.

Edit: for clarity
