Look, the people-seeds argument is every bit as weak as the kidnapped and grafted to a famous musician argument.

Both assume a set of facts - in one case, spontaneous, non-volitional reproduction of human beings as a matter of the natural order, in the other, a person drugged or otherwise incapacitated and compelled to serve as a meat-based life-support for some other person - that don’t fit in with the main argument, do nothing to strengthen the case, and, in general, avoid having to draw your opponent to meet you in the arena of ideas. You can present a very strong case for your position without resort to weak arguments such as these.

The two argument work fine.

Do you deny that their is a difference between consent to sex and consent to have a child?
