So we can dispense with the idea "that they won't even realize it" as irrelevant? That realization really has little to do with anything?
Pretty much.

It really doesn't matter what you think.

Exactly, which is why i didn't share it here. It isn't illegal, and the law say it isn't murder. By our current standards there is nothing wrong with it. The only people who has a problem are pro lifers... this isn't going the way in which I actually think btw.

Which in no way negates my point.
If you understand your point, then the rest of that post does. Your analogy was bad. That was all I wanted to say.



Quote:
I'm not sure the relevance here. At first we were discussing the effect on the entity. Now you have changed the subject to the effect on others.
See above. This is just explaining why your analogy is bad. A person is far more complex than a zygote, in many ways.

It's better than some other options. Like killing them.
It isn't killing, and honestly, tell me why.

Which has nothing to do with the bogus claim. A small simple "I was wrong" generally suffices but if you would rather stand behind it. Go for it. Seems pretty common in discussions like this.

are you seriously denying that there are not over 100,000 children in foster care that are waiting to be adopted?

Sometimes it isn't illegal, sometimes it is.

I was pointing out that the idea of awareness was irrelevant. You agree.

I of course never said otherwise. I said personal awareness is irrelevant as to whether taking a life is right or wrong.

Not sure what you are actually asking here.

Sorry, not taking the bait. Anyone capable of reading is perfectly capable of reading what I said and understanding it.

you have skirted the links, not bothered to read them, then when directly asked you haven't answered. your posting are on awareness and murder not about the number of kids in foster care. seems you "not taking the bait" is you not wanting to admit to the facts on foster care kids.
