re: #80 klys

Bodily autonomy. You cannot force someone to donate bone marrow to save a life, even if they are the only match - and someone who needs a bone marrow transplant is unquestionably alive. What makes the embryo/fetus worthy of special protection that a woman can be forced to donate her body (which is not something that comes without risk to her) when denying a bone marrow transplant for a living person, even if they will die as a result, is acceptable?

Really, when life begins doesn’t matter at all.

OK I get your point, I was thinking of something else (kind of a social responsibility to save lives).

But bone marrow is not a cognitive being, that’s kind of the big difference. A fetus is attached to a woman, but the whole debate is around when that fetus becomes a human being with rights; which is why people talk about viability, but like I mentioned, viability keeps moving earlier and earlier, so that’s an argument that I think even pro-abortion rights people are not comfortable with.
