re: #273 dangerman

the question is not when life begins and all that - never accept that as the premise of the question

it’s when does a second, discrete, constitutionally protected human life begin. because before that, like it or not, it does not have rights. (hence the push for “personhood” - to define the indefinable when you aren’t otherwise winning constitutionally)

Not even.

My nephew is absolutely, definitely, unqualifiedly a discrete, constitutionally protected life. But if he wants my kidney, or my bone marrow, even if his life is at stake, it’s still entirely my call whether I let him take what he needs.
