re: #335 dangerman

i dont want to get down in the weeds too much - just a little - these are different scenarios
in yours you have two fully protected independent lives. there is no clash of rights your nephew has no right to your body parts. he doesnt take them. you voluntarily donate them.

not so with pregnancy. there is only one constitutionally protected life from the start. the other develops and garners something over time. - it is admittedly unclear and somewhat arbitrary as to when. it will be a hard road to argue a normal three day before ordinary birth fetus is in no way different than few days old blastocyst. you dont need a moral argument to know that.

that is as unrealistic as “all life begins at conception”

Keep pulling on that thread, and soon someone has to define what a right is, and where they come from.
