Reply #63: Considering a cytoblast the equivalent of a human

[juno jones]

is only an extrememlely recent thing. Up until the 1800's human life didn't 'begin' until a successful birthing. There were also milestones such as 40 or 80 days sfter conception and 'quickening', when the baby was felt moving. Moral under whose definition of humanity then?

In the end, the woman is the determinant of her own fate. And until we are willing to totally and unequivically as a society take responsibility for all children, to ensure their health, education, well-being, etc, we have no place telling those women affected by these descisions what is moral or not. In places where they have done that, such as europe, there are fewer abortions.
