What physical benefits someone is not about what they feel. Someone without access to clean water will be prone to disease. We know how to make enviro...

If society allows us to do something then it is a right. Anyone can do any action that is possible and ignore societies strictures but if you want to ...

No problem

I think a lot of objection to abortion is simply virtue signalling. If someone claims to be concerned about children and their outcomes and potential ...

I think when it comes to the unborn child it has no similarities with someone who has already experienced life and formed preferences. Your daughter m...

I think there are two aspects to a quality of life assessment. How someone feels about their life and the physical facts. If you are a building a soci...

As I mentioned with the just world fallacy they have false beliefs about the external world so they the emotions they feel are being generated by fals...

Yes, it's invalid speculation. I highlighted the problem with the speculation about others desires and pointed out they are your desires not the other...

I think if you save someone's life who is unconscious after an accident then you are acting on your desires not there's. (Unless they have left a livi...

I don't see why it is acceptable to create a life and not acceptable to end a life. Why does someone have the right to create someone without that per...

If statistics and other external facts go against someone having a good quality of life yet they believe they have then that raises questions about th...

I think that you can judge that someone has a poor quality of life based on their own standards. For example if someone wanted to get married and have...

I think you can refer to biological facts. Facts about how the body functions and what a likely outcome is going to be such as whether an event will c...

In that definition it says to be measured against other things of a similar kind. So it would probably involve comparing states of being. So If you li...

Here is one of the first definitions of "Quality" that I found: "the standard of something as measured against other things of a similar kind" So this...

I think it is harder to pin down the causes of happiness compared to pain. For example stamping on someones foot will most likely hart them but I don'...

I am not convinced quality of life is based on how someone feels. People can be happy whilst suffering. They don't believe they have a great quality o...

I am pointing out the absurdity of claiming people in famine and genocide etc cannot be judged to have a poor quality of life The equation then is how...

I think there is something to match and fail to match which is their beliefs about how the world is. Facts about a disease they have, or level of inju...

There is no excuses for causing protracted suffering. Reproduction causes protractive suffering. Abortion causes no suffering.

That is extremely controversial if you read a history book or newspaper about what actually happens in reality. In what way is an unborn child, entire...

Souls and spirits are entirely relevant to the nature fate of a life. Now you are using the word child which is manipulative also because the unborn d...

I would contest that, however even if this were true it doesn't justify creating the millions of people who have poor quality lives.

You are using emotive language that could be applied to anything. if you watch crime documentaries you will notice they don't use terms like "destroyi...

I have no idea what AJJ mean by "innocent". In the bible it says: "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God" "Behold, I was shapen in in...

I don't know what you mean by "because it is convenient to do so". I think creating suffering is worse than terminating an unborn child. You keep on c...

My older brother developed primary progressive Multiple sclerosis in his mid 20's .He has now had the illness for over 20 years and it has left him fu...

I don't think the child in the womb has a right to life because of its lack of independent existence. It cannot survive without its mothers body and i...

If someone "simply" doesn't wan't a child what will it benefit the child to be born? (which is no simply situation). Like I said life and nature is de...

It is relevant because it s a realistic often occurring result of creating a child. Creating more children is just going to create more children in th...

But would you been happy to have been aborted?

People have abortions because they are raped, because they are unfit to raise a child, have mental health problems, cannot afford to, or are in an abu...

I don't think the idea "fully human being" is meaningful. Humans are very different and have different capacities and go through many different stages...

Well this doesn't apply to abortion.

People claim to be appalled by abortion but then they tolerate this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CL0terXLqOo

Moral positions tend to be incompatible. For example deontology or divine command theory would say that you should not have an abortion because it is ...

If you think life is a good thing then it would be a bad thing to be aborted. By life I mean being a living sentient organism or just a human life whi...

I am not opposed to abortion and I am an antinatalist. But you could argue "What if you had been aborted?" One reason I am not opposed to abortion is ...

Well God apparently didn't think killing is wrong since he kills the most people in the Bible. Including flooding the whole earth. Killing all the Fir...

When someone commits suicide it is because they have suffered or are suffering immensely or predict future suffering. A fetus has none of these status...

No it doesn't it scuppers your complain against me. You can't claim I am using the wrong interpretation of the bible. I am arguing based on what sever...

It is not a justification for anything it is just a refutation of the idea that life is an automatic good and valuable. If life is not an automatic go...

I don't think that killing is obviously wrong. The idea we are being deprived of something by being killed, makes death itself problematic because dea...

I agree. But it is an argument against the idea that killing a fetus prevents someone having a fulfilling life because a fulfilling is not guaranteed....

I am angry because you quoted a clearly questionable website quoting disputed sources and without presenting an argument cited it as if infallible. It...

No. I quoted one translation of the bible you are quoting another. No because this only applies to children who are not at the age to be damned to hel...

Anyone can uses references whilst misrepresenting the findings of studies and selecting a few studies out of thousands. I hope you are not coming from...

Presumably you have created hundreds of children then? If not then why are you denying them the chance to live? Why are you denying them the chance to...

No there isn't and the non academic fundamentalist website you link to discredits you. Any mental problems health suffered after abortion can be easil...

I think Christians and Jews have a problem when opposing abortion. Because if a child dies then they will go straight to heaven and be better off and ...
