FRRRRRR

 

[goodcat911]

depends on a lotta factors tho (how bad is the infant's quality of life? how much pain/discomfort does the condition cause? is there any chance of recovery? how fatal or damaging is the condition? is there a chance for a cure? how much would treatment cost? whats the familys financial situation?) so cant really be thinking in black and white. but yea in some cases, i think its better for peaceful passing.

You're talking about infanticide not abortion right?

that's a whole other discussion

at the end of the day it's relevant. i think it should be discussed; where do we draw the line?

no idea I'm tired of the abortion debate, my stance on abortion comes from a religious basis which isn't valid to many, where the line is drawn is subjective bcz everyone has a diff moral opinion on that, for some abortion is infanticide, for others it isn't, for others abortion becomes infanticide at a certain stage of fetal development but even this can't be agreed upon

so basically, you do you

some say otherwise

Abortion is largely accepted even for reasons that do not have anything to do with the fetus' health. By showing that (1) both fetuses and newborns do not have the same moral status as actual persons, (2) the fact that both are potential persons is morally irrelevant and (3) adoption is not always in the best interest of actual people, the authors argue that what we call 'after-birth abortion' (killing a newborn) should be permissible in all the cases where abortion is, including cases where the newborn is not disabled.

yeah I remember going over those things when I did health ethics and law in uni, the concept of first establishing that a fetus doesn't have the quality of personhood and therefore doesn't have the same moral status, so abortion is fine in that regard

"after-birth adoption" is completely ridiculous why give infanticide such a fluffy name?

"including cases where the newborn is not disabled" isn't that straight murder? is it okay to kill a newborn bcz they're a male but the parents wanted a female, or is it okay if parents decide after birth that they no longer want the baby? I get that adoption or foster care isn't the best way to grow up but im not for murder of newborns for reasons like that. don't go through a whole pregnancy and childbirth only to wanna kill the baby for a reason that hasn't got to do with the baby being severely disabled, not mildly. even this isn't always a good reason for killing newborns imo, it's a case by case thing

Yeah, why keep them suffering a cruel life. It would be better if the disability/terminal status can be identified before the baby is born though so abortion can be an option.

What if I hold to dialetheism and your proposition that P implies Q to be a truthful statement can also be false?
