What the guy should’ve said is that when someone has no consciousness, memories or signs of intelligence AND they are directly dependent upon one specific person for survival, it should be that specific persons choice whether they want to carry the burden or not.

You won’t ever hear a pro life liberal speak at a liberal convention...

@@Robert_1685 Wait hold on. Like Ben said, a baby has no sense of identity, just like this hypothetical man with no identity or personality. But it's not okay to kill a child after it's born. How does that make sense?

[@leoflaskay4963]

@@Robert_1685 Hmm. Your argument is a well-reasoned one. However, technically, all human being are massive clusters of cells. We are all made of cells. All of these clusters of cells take roughly the same shape; the human figure. These cells, which are human, start life at the moment of conception. This must be so because if it were otherwise, the cells wouldn't grow. There must be life for growth, and no amount of feeding by the mother will restart a dead fetus. Hence, miscarriages. So we have established that life must begin at conception, we all are made of clusters of cells, and we all began as a very small cluster of cells. Following this logic, we must, as persons, have grown from those clusters of cells. Life does not begin at birth, because if so, the fetus must have been dead all during the pregnancy, which is impossible. And if the same life that grows the fetus from a cluster of cells into a baby is the same life that now sustains us as I write these words and you read them, it follows that we, as humans, were alive from the moment of conception onward, as humans.

[@tkontrimaite]

@@Robert_1685 i would like to connect to this weirdly and surprisingly calm conversation that you are both having and state my point of view. So to begin with I am pro-life and let me explain why with the help of the guy-in-a-coma situation. The example that the guy gave us is that the person who comes out of the coma has no personal identity equal to a child that is to be born but may be aborted. So. What I want to say is - personal identity is formed AFTER the birth. Personality however is formed during the prenatal period (literature on that - "one point of view by William R. Emerson, "Some complex cases" by Joseph Wolpe, "The person in change: the process as experienced" by Carl Rogers - this is just a few of the books on this topic that are based on experiments and valid medical findings, I really suggest you and everyone else read them because they are truly eye-opening and really reader-friendly). So. If for this guy what defines a person is PERSONAL IDENTITY and not PERSONALITY, then he is SOOO wrong for killing the person in coma because of his loss of memory. Memory isn't the only thing what defines us as human beings. Yes, it adds up to our experience in this world but as I said and as it is mentioned in this literature, it is formed. It is formed everyday and it would have been formed after the person woke up from a coma - yes, the memories would be different, the person's in question identity may be understood differently by him/her, but still, this chance of creating it again after its loss would be regained just as it would be gained after a child is born. Another thing is that in my personal opinion, if a woman got pregnant - it is her responsibility to take care of her actions. If you got pregnant BY ENGAGING IN SEXUAL ACTIVITIES WITH CONSENT GIVEN, you knew that there was a chance for you to get pregnant. If a woman got pregnant after that CONSENTUAL sexual interaction usually she is in the known of the pregnancy after 3 weeks (statistical evidence, also). What is happening with a woman's body? An umbilical cord is formed, the baby is starting to develop internal organs, bones, tiny limbs and a primal structure of brains. Imagine what changes a woman's body has to go through and how stressful it is for the same body, that went through all that to experience a "cleanse" of it all. One of the biggest problems women face after getting pregnant AFTER an abortion is having a preterm birth or pow birthweight which results in complications during the very first crucial stages of a baby's development. In my opinion there are just a couple of situations in which abortion can be a way of solving a "problem" - rape or risk for a mother's life while giving birth or having this risk while carrying the baby. If i am forgetting something similar to these situations - please excuse me, these are the ones that come to mind at this moment. I believe that the change of abortion rates can only drop with the change in the way people act and how they solve the consequences of their actions : don't have unprotected sex, don't engage in sexual activities while in the stage (age) of not being able to give consent or not being in the known of the consequences of your actions (probable "need" for abortion at a your age) - these things should be implemented to the youth at their age when they may start to think of engaging in these kinds of activities (lets say from the age of 12-13).

[@joellaffoon5503]

@Jesus Christ no, not dodging the question. Simply establishing a basis of knowledge. The Amalekites were far from innocent. In fact, they were utterly depraved. What is more, they desired to destroy Israel (v. 2), God’s chosen people, the channel of His redemptive plans for all humankind (Gen. 12:1-3). The act of their total destruction was necessitated by the gravity of their sin. Otherwise, some hard core remnant might rise to resume their hateful act toward God’s people and plan. Source: defendinginerrancy.com

[@joellaffoon5503]

@Jesus Christ As to the question about the innocent children, several observations are relevant. First, we are all born in sin (Ps. 51:5) and deserve death (Rom. 5:12). Everyone will eventually be taken by God in death-it is only a matter of when (Heb. 9:27). Second, God is sovereign over life and reserves the right to take it when He will (Deut. 32:39; Job 1:21). Third, all children who die before the age of accountability are saved (see comments on 2 Sam. 12:23). Hence, the act by which God took the children is far from merciless (see also comments on Josh. 6:21). Same source as previous response.

[@Kanzu999]

Getting an early abortion and killing someone in a coma are not nearly the same thing. We are our consciousness, not our bodies. If I had been aborted before I developed sentience, then my existence would've been prevented before I ever existed, and that is very far from killing me while I'm temporarily gone. If my existence is prevented before I ever existed, then it literally can't make a difference to me how it was done. From my perspective, an early abortion would be the exact same as if my existence was prevented with a condom, because in both cases I never got to exist. So how come one of these acts is considered very moral while the other one is considered morally abhorrent?

[@tommuggeridge5659]

Kanzu999 life starts at conception, so a comdom does prevent you from living but an abortion is actually killing you because you are a life.

[@tommuggeridge5659]

Kanzu999 Definition of kill: cause the death of (a person, animal, or other living thing). You are technically alive and a person so you would be killed if aborted Definition of prevent: keep (something) from happening. A condom or birth control prevents the sperm from making contact with the egg and the life happening altogether, therefore it’s preventing a life.

[@benjammen7041]

@@Kanzu999 You existed before you knew you did. And now that you know, are you happy that you do?

[@Kanzu999]

@@tommuggeridge5659 If my body was kept alive but was brain dead for some reason so that my consciousness and/or mind can't exist, then I'm gone even though my body is alive. So yes, it would be killing my body, but it wouldn't make any difference to me. In the same sense then yes, an early abortion would be killing the "body", the organism, but in the end the body is not what we are, so if the abortion is performed before a mind could ever exist, then you prevented that person's existence before they ever existed. I agree that life for the fetus/embryo starts at conception. I just don't agree that the body is what we are, so just because the body exists and is alive for an early stage fetus, it doesn't mean that it's inhabited by a person with moral value. But I'm curious. Where do you think moral value comes from? What is it that makes an action/behavior bad or good?

Only because the guy was clearly out of his depth in debating the issue, not because Ben is necessarily right. Within the first trimester the fetus does not have a fully developed brain and has yet to attain brainwave activity. An Alzheimer's patient does still have brainwave activity and therefore his comparison is flawed and falls apart right there, only the guy debating him didn't pick up on that.

[@robertmcelwaine7024]

@@RadicalUnderstanding And yet it doesn't begin to exhibit brain activity until within 5 to six week of conception. And even then it cannot feel pain, as it is unable to do so until at least 12 weeks in to the pregnancy. If it can be aborted without any suffering what so ever then I see nothing ethically wrong with it. I mean if we're going to respect the bodily autonomy of the woman it strikes me as a no brain. Put it this way. If a mother, or even a father for that matter had a child that was in need of bone marrow transplant and either one could donate their own to save their child's life would they be obligated to do so? I mean we can't begin forcing people to donate their essentially have their body used against their will to benefit another, so why should a woman be forced against to have hers in the benefit of a fetus. It just strikes me as inconsistent when it comes to anatomical rights to prevent a woman to have an abortion on those moralistic grounds alone.

@@robertmcelwaine7024 yes but that child is going to be perfectly fine when it fully develops. Just like the person in a coma they may not feel anything right now but later may or will get better.

[@robertmcelwaine7024]

@@charliehendrix1265 Poor analogy. A coma patient doesn't benefit via the autonomy of someone else to go on living whereas a fetus does. Therefore you can't ignore the anatomical rights of the mother. If she wouldn't be morally obligated to have any part of her body used to benefit her child after it's born then why should she therefore be obligated to carry an unborn fetus that is benefiting the from the use of her body against her will? Otherwise there is an inconsistency in her anatomical rights. Sorry, but her rights trump those of a fetus that isn't even yet fully developed, and it's not as if it would make any difference to a child that never go on to fully exist.

My wife and I recently had our first child. We went through the massive ups and downs of pregnancy, and now our son is coming up on five months.

But above all, it's something you truly cannot understand until you're there in those moments. You simply cannot know what you're shutting down, and for those who say "Well I just don't want to know" that is an immeasurable tragedy.

I get that Ben wants to give the strongest points to show his values are superior but at the other spectrum, euthanasia... It's not that simple but in certain cases, I could see merit for such a procedure. I agree, abortion isn't preferable but making it illegal isn't going to stop it from happening just as making euthanasia illegal isn't going to stop suicides. There is a whole other level of discussion to be had about surrounding factors but in the mean time, having abortion as an option is probably the most healthy way of dealing with pregnant people not wanting to give birth.

I find it so odd where people are amazed by Ben's ability to examine points of view using logic and evidence. There was a time when this was more the norm, and where people who just yelled slogans were easily ignored.

Ian 9876 that doesn’t mean he is going to change his stance on abortion. If it’s not your body, you don’t have a right to decide for someone. Just like if someone wants to do drugs or whatever doesn’t mean we throw them in jail unless they are violent/hurting others.
